Knitting Emergency Survival Guide: Revised & Updated Solutions for Common Knitting Problems by Marion Edmonds (2014) - Perfect for Fixing Mistakes, Dropped Stitches & Yarn Disasters at Home or On-The-Go

Ahza Moore is a seriously gifted knitter. I was lucky to take a knitting class with her eons ago and Moore's deep knowledge clarified every step. I got the feeling that she truly, madly loved to knit and enjoyed inspiring others to learn. Writing instructions is an art in itself, and the book is an enjoyable read and easy to understand. Love Moore's story about her young student who kept making mistakes while learning to knit a hat, and helping turn those missed stitches into a "success". The book has an index (one of the first places I look) and bibliography to help answer areas the authors didn't cover. I like this book so much I'm giving it (or the updated one) to friends for the holidays.
