Vogue Knitting on the go

This is the second copy of this book that I have purchased. As a new knitter, I carry this book in my knitting bag as a quick reference. The second copy was a Christmas gift for a grandchild that is starting to knit also.

What a great little book!

This book has so much information packed into its convenient compact size, I couldn't believe it. It has information and diagrams straight from the "Bible" (Vogue Knitting). Excellent reference for beginners and intermediates. It has all the basics and some pretty cute projects too - use cheaper yarn though. Easy to carry in your purse or knitting bag. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful Book!

Use a WPI tool (wraps per inch tool) or simply compare the weight (oz/grams) and length (meters/yds) as well as number of plys (strands) in the yarns, to substitute your own yarns for the more expensive yarns listed in the instructions. Use what you already have in your stash and believe me, you will use this book over and over again! Great projects, perfect for the beginning knitter (like me, though I was a crocheter from waaaaay back). I actually made something, knitting for the first time, using this book. I did "cheat", in that I bought a cd-rom from Joanne fabrics for about $3.50 that was called Knitting Made Easy about a week before, and watched it first. Then, voila! I really got my knittin' mittens on and off I went. Wow! Great little hardcover book which packs a lot into a little space, and is the perfect size to throw in your knitting bag and take with you everywhere. It is useful, inspirational and affordable--just like the two others I've gotten in this series called Knitting on the Go, by Vogue.

Nice but expensive projects

I like the ideas in this book but some of the projects are just too expensive. The first scarf requires you to buy six skeins of Colinette's Point 5 yarn which costs twenty dollars a skein. I think that it's a silly suggestion no matter how easy the big wool is. The book is also hard to keep open while you are trying to knit so you need to use some kind of book weight. It would have been a perfect book to be spiral bound. For the amount of projects it has, the price is right, though.
