review 1: I really enjoyed the essays on knitting and the patterns Michelle included. One of the reasons I gave this book two stars was the layout. I found the formatting of inserts and the way the sentences of the main text were broken up over the inserts to be very disruptive and confusing. By the end of the book the over use of commas and nonrestrictive descriptive phrases became annoying and redundant. This book would still make a great gift for a knitter, but I would recommend the Yarn Harlot first.
review 2: Are you a fan of knitting ? Do you just love to sit and browse through the hundreds of knitting books looking for your next challenge of creation ? Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who never inherited the knitting gene - I just couldn't get my fingers ar... moreound it but my mum , aunties and Nana can all knit. This is the ideal present for the Knitting Lovers. The Knitting Companion though as other things that may interest you if you aren't a knitter and I loved the format that Michelle had written her book. Each couple of pages features a story about Michelle's life and after the ancedote - Michelle has provided one or two of three things that accompany the tale for your pleasure e.g a story about entering Motherhood had a pattern on how to make a zig-zag baby blanket, then further on another story followed a book for us to read and then after another tale had the recipe on how to make cupcakes -hmmmm mouthwatering. So next time , you are trying to decide readers what to get your mother , mother-in-law or nana as a present as we all know most of them have everything that they need. Head to your local bookstore and pick up A Knitter's Home Companion and this is also one book I will be letting work know to buy it as I know of plenty of customers at Greerton Library will enjoy this. less
