I haven’t done a book review in a while, sorry about that.

I’ve gotten a few knitting books over the past couple of weeks but I wanted to highlight this one — yes, it’s that good. Classic Knits from DK is a book that should find a home with any knitter.

Packed with over 100 projects … ranging from easy to challenging …this book has something for everyone.

• there are cardigans (simple, lacy, cabled and colorworked) and sweaters
• there are baby things for baby boys and baby girls
• there are man garments (vests and pullovers and cardigans that even my dh would wear)
• there are hats and bags and other accessories for young and old
• there are home accessories (pillows and throws)
• there are toys and other fun knits

Classic Knits: More than 100 Beautiful Projects

Many of the designs in here could be found in the classic knitting books of the 20th century; they are truly classic. But the color-choices, yarns and styling of the designs makes them perfect for today’s knitter.

The last 50 or so pages of the book are dedicated to how-to — how-to add zippers and beads … how-to work the various stitches … how to start and end a project … how to become a better knitter.

I highly recommend this book … whether you’re a beginner or advanced or expert, I’m thinking you’re going to find at least half a dozen projects you’d like to make while also using it as a reference for how-to make a buttonhole or sew in a zipper or how to do add beads to your knitting.
