A note to readers

Dear Reader,

You'll probably notice that my knitting lesson is missing a lot of photos toward the end. Many readers have written to me to inquire about when I'll be adding to it. The answer is, I'm avoiding doing a lot of work because I intend to replace the entire thing with all new photos sometime soon. Meanwhile, if these free online directions aren't helpful enough, there are some book recommendations listed below.

Thanks,

Tom

Vogue Knitting
	Recommended I haven't bought this book yet but intend to when I have a bit more time to devote to my hand knitting. Vogue Knitting is a thorough tome with excellent information on introductory through advanced hand knitting. While there are plenty of cheaper books available that will teach you to knit, most just teach you the basic stitches and perhaps provide a pattern or two and leave you to fend for yourself. This book provides enough hand knitting information to serve at least my modest needs for life. I recommend it to everyone from the beginner interested in learning to knit through the advanced knitter looking for a good reference book. I may give my father (who has been knitting for 30 years now) a copy for Christmas one of these years.
Stitch 'N Bitch
	Recommended This fun, stylish book gives simple, concise instructions for knitting and then provides several straightforward projects to knit. It's perhaps not as thorough as Vogue Knitting, yet it's cheaper, and good fun.
