Like many of the previous reviewers, I love knitty.com and always eagerly await every new issue. It is truly the best knitting site on the web. Since I was such a fan, when I saw that the editor, Amy Singer, was publishing a book I immediately put it on my wishlist. This book is a bit of mixed bag. It's not exactly a book for beginners - the "learn to knit" section at the start of the book seemed to be added as an afterthought.
