 knitting for dummies review August 14, 2010
memoe
Excellent book. Excellent resource. Best book I bought this year. A must have for novice knitters.
Color photos of the stitches would be more helpful. July 13, 2010
ARIANA MARTUSCELLO
This book is a great primer but I found myself getting confused by the stitch pictures. The color pictures in the insert are of finished projects. I would prefer color pictures of the different knit styles. Otherwise I think the book serves its purpose
 Kindle A/V edition missing photos of projects July 4, 2010

The videos are very helpful; but I can't find the "color insert", mentioned in nearly every project, containing photos of the finished items. I feel this is a grave omission. How can one decide which projects to make, or tell if it is being constructed correctly without the photos? The publisher should offer a free "upgrade" edition.
Kindle Book with Videos/gadget-y & five stars for FUN quality June 29, 2010

I haven't actually read the "book" parts of this yet; I always love the humor in "For Dummies" books. I am an intermediate to advanced knitter-- but definitely an advanced gadget geek, so I had to have this book (and others) with the totally 'gadget-y' built-in video/audio for the iPhone.
The book looks great on the iPhone and the videos are clear and concise. It 'only' has a few very basic videos, but since I'm a leftie who occasionally needs to knit right-handed (for instance: when helping others who aren't lucky enough to be left-handed :) ), the videos will be good reminders for how to switch to right-handed.
The book can also be downloaded to Kindle for PC and the Kindle (I have a K2) and all that will be missing are the videos so you also have the basic book in those formats. I wondered about that, so am mentioning it here in case others who are considering it also wonder if they will get the book in the other Kindle formats.
I am curious to see if the rumored 'Kindle 3', when it is announced and released will have the ability to play these embedded files.
This book wasn't something I needed but will read and use and play with for the 'gadget-iness'.
(I also got the 250 Birds book with the audio files, to torment my cats).

Am enjoying using Knitting for Dummies. It's clear and
precise and I recommend it for someone wanting to learn
to knit. EDL
