Excellent choice.......2007-09-21
Vogue Knitting: The Ultimate Knitting Book
This is an excellent knitting guide. I took an intermediate class and my knitting instructor recommended this book and it was excellent in it's instruction and pictures.
Reference Book for serious knitters.......2007-08-24
If you love knitting this is an excellent addition to your library. The book is beautifully laid out and wide-ranging. The introductory history of knitting section is particularly interesting. There isn't an area of knitting that it doesn't touch on. However, if there is an area of knitting--e.g. knitting in the round--that you want to explore in depth, you'll have to go to another book.
This is the one.......2007-08-03
Of all the knitting resources I have, this is the most comprehensive.
A very good investment for knitters of any level.
The perfect reference.......2007-07-12
This is a must in my knitting library. I checked out the previous edition from the library and was hooked. I refer to it as needed.
Basics.......2007-07-07
A nice book with basic instructions on cast on, bind off, increase, decrease, etc. The patterns are not so great, you can find nicer ones in other books (Barbara Walker's, for instance). Not much about finishings... Might be a disappointment for experienced knitter.
Book Description
The editors at Vogue® Knitting, the most trusted name in the craft, have done it again, creating the most comprehensive guide available to sock knitters! No other book has both information for designing your own socks and such fabulous, never-before-published designer patterns. It includes background on the social and historical development of sock knitting (complete with historical photos), techniques (top-down, bottom-up, many different heel and toe styles), stitch patterns, and socks from a wide variety of ethnic traditions. Since sock knitting requires only the most basic skills, like casting on, knitting in the round, decreasing, working short rows, picking up stitches, binding off and seamless joining, it’s a great place for beginners to start.

Why this is a good idea -- in spite of itself.......2007-09-18
I had an English professor once in college that graded papers on the "any 7 errors" rule; that is, any 7 errors earned an automatic "F" grade. It didn't matter how thoughtful or thought provoking the content of the paper was --
Which turned a lot of students into excellent proofreaders. And those dyslexic students in the mix (like me) either just bypassed this guy -- or kept roommates in beer money by paying .05/error found.
Surely an institution as venerable as Vogue can afford to pay a few anal-retentive knitters/proofreaders to check their work and avoid tripping innocent knitters over the kind of mistakes that are in this book
That said (unlike my professor -- I actually read for content) this book does one thing that I haven't seen before -- within the book of sock patterns, history, general sock instruction, and inspiration there is a stitch dictionary designed specifically for sock weight yarns -- the 5.5-8sts/in fingering and dk/sport weight yarn. Little, tiny, itty-bitty stitch patterns -- in cables, lace, color-work, slip stitch, wave patterns and basic knit/purl patterns.
I bought this book sight-unseen based on Vogue's reputation and track record for solidly written books -- and though I'm a little less convinced of their "solidity," it is definitely worth having on the shelf. Each pattern is by a different designer and all are wonderful examples of "sockness" from the simpler toe-up and cuff-down basic design, to kaleidoscopic 2, 3 or 13-color foot art & architecture.
One caviat: The pages on basic sock techniques are written and illustrated clearly, but if I didn't already understand Kitchner stitching, I don't think I'd get it from their text/drawings. Kitchnier has been one of the most difficult things to get my dyslexic head around and so stands as a test for most technique-books -- that is, if you can't explain Kitchner, then perhaps "how-to" book-writing is not your calling. (It's all the left/right, back/front of the stitch, on-the-needle/off-the-needle yarn-in-front/yarn-in-back, over/under [!!!!!!] that confuses the dyslexic directional signals.)
If you need "best text" on Kitchner, it is nicely illustrated, with steps clearly spelled out in
"Knit Socks!" by Betsy McCarthy.
CAUTION.......2007-09-11
Seems to be a nice book, but in my browsing through I've already noticed that the ZigZag socks pattern has serious errors in it. I'd wait for errata or the second printing, if you are not an experienced enough sock knitter to be able to troubleshoot poorly proofread patterns.

The Well-Decorated Garden is a do-it-yourself guide to making gewgaws for your garden. It's an ideal book for the gardener who has finished all the basic work and now wants to put some flourishes in place, signatures of the self in the blooming landscape. Reminiscent of Martha Stewart's crafty style, The Well-Decorated Garden takes readers step by step through various projects: building a "faux granite garden planter," pebble-covered flowerpots, butterfly boxes, tile plant markers, ladybug cottages. Highlights include a "sign bird feeder," made out of road signs and license plates, and a variety of elaborate outdoor torches. Projects range from simple, hour-long endeavors (a wire candle holder) to major construction projects that might take all summer to finish (a locust log arbor, for instance). The author draws on ideas from a variety of designers, with a wide range of styles and tastes. The Well-Decorated Garden is a good resource for the highly committed and resourceful gardener, the proud artiste who wants guests to "ooh" and "aah" as they discover the landscape's various handmade charms. --Emily White

Just right for my 8 year old daughter.......2007-09-08
I have been so nervous about talking about this stuff with my daughter. But this book made it so easy! We spent a few minutes reading and stopped frequently when she had questions. Then, it sparked an awesome conversation after we were finished. This book is just the right amount of information at the right time. It has illustrations that are very tasteful and didn't make either of us squirm. (Although she did giggle a bit at the discussion of how a boy grows :-) Like other reviewers, I'm not sure my 5 year old is ready to hear this, but I'm very glad I have the book now so I can pull it out when she does start asking questions. I think it's perfect for the 7-8 year old, boy or girl (it covers both equally).
Tells it Like it is ... in a Good Way........2007-07-11
Some reviews think this book is too graphic. If my children lived in a vacuum I'd tend to agree but, alas they do not. I want them to hear it from me and not some misinformed youth who doesn't have their facts straight as happens with so many children. I was shocked when I learned about it from a friend ... at a much younger age than my parents ever knew or even suspected. If you think you're 6+ year old isn't hearing things you most likely need another think.
Kids at this age (at least my son) are so into animals and biology and nature that they are just sponges. They accept facts at face value without adding all the "dirtiness" associated with sex in our culture. Regarding the intercourse description he just looked at me with a look that said, "are you for real?" I said I was and he kind of went, "oh, okay." It was just another fact of nature to him.
WAAAAAAAY too graphic for the age intended..........2007-01-13
I bought this book for my 8 1/2 year old daughter and after reading it, I couldn't bring myself to give it to her. I was ok with it until they started to describe the sex act. In my opinion this book was WAAAAAY too descriptive for 5 to 8 year old. It, in so many words, decribes an orgasm! "Body parts fitting inside others, semen flowing inside of her and bodies feeling good all over." It sounds graphic and I paraphrased it!!! That's just unnecessary for a parent who desires to teach the basics of sexuality to a young child.
I found the book "Where Do Babies Come From?", by Ruth S. Hummel, more appropriate for my child. It is a kid friendly narrative story with pronuncuations, illustrations, and careful explanations.
I think this book over sensationalizes sex. I'm not prepared to explain ejaculation to my 8 1/2 year old. Some parents may be, but I am not. I believe in keeping children children as long as possible. I am open and honest with my daughter about puberty and sex, and I answer every question that she has, but I think this book can wait until she's 12.
Well Done.......2006-06-03
I got this for my very curious 6.5yo and I agree it is very well done and very tasteful. I do think you will have to be dealing with a mature child if they are 5 & 6 and reading this book. I agree with the others, that this is geared more towards 7 and up. No matter the age, I think it is best that my children learn about sex early and what is about from me. She has already asked a ton of questions and I am glad she trusts me enough to ask.
Informative.......2006-03-09
This book, in the "God's Design for Sex" series is a good book to read with your child. The only complaint I have with the series is that I think the information given is too explicit for the ages recommended. I would wait until my child is at least 8 to read this book with him. The same with the others in the series, I will be waiting until the last age recommended (or beyond). The series did do a good job showing Sex and our bodies as God designed them to be - important to teach, especially if they will be having "sex/puberty education" from the public school system.
