My Review - 5 Stars

My childhood best friend's mom taught us to knit when I was in 3rd grade but I didn't remember much past that year and I've often been jealous of knitting friends. The last few winters I've thought about learning to knit again but haven't followed through. This winter, though, I'm determined to do it. When I won a copy of The Knitter's Dictionary, it seemed like a sign!

This is a thorough resource and I definitely feel more empowered to knit. There were so many terms I'd never heard of before. It's easy to understand and well organized. Atherley did a great job putting it together. I'll need more than this to get started on my first project but I have no doubt I'l be referring to it often once I become a true knitter.
