Stitch n' Bitch is a great book to pick up if you want to learn how to knit, but want something with more substance to it. The book covers the basics of knitting, the basics of yarn, and basic finishing techniques. The instructions are easy to understand and follow. And even if you already know how to knit, the patterns in the book are fun and a great addition to a pattern library.

I tried teaching myself to knit through online searches, but there was always something that just didn't click. This book was the complete opposite. Within the first few pages, the author dissects the stich and explains the process with easy to understand language and images. Every chapter is a wonderful resource and the patterns are modern and beautiful.
