Thanks for reviewing these books
I came to your video review specifically for the 400 Knitting Stitches book. I was thrilled to see that it rates so highly with you and to actually see WHY! Love it! This review helped tremendously with my buying decision so thank you for that. I also appreciate the additional book reviews you provided since that helps me to know about those as well. Your video was just perfect in length and you did a great job with steady, clear narration. I give this one five stars! :)
Wow thank you so much I’m so glad you found it helpful!
❤Thank you. This has been helpful as I just started knitting again after a hiatus and a move.
Glad it was helpful! You're very welcome
Great video. Thanks!
You’re welcome ☺️! Im glad you enjoyed it
Really appreciate your insight. I want to invest in some knitting books and this video really helps! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I love this, Julie!!! I was JUST looking for some books to add to my knitting library. Picked 3 of them up!! 😆
Yay I’m so glad you loved it!!! Oh which ones did you get ?! ☺️
@@TwinStitchesDesigns 400 stitches, 200 Fair Isle, and Vogue knitting. I was able to find them in Thrift Books. $60 for all of them!
Julie, I would love for you to do a video on basket weave pattern in a cowl.
Just buy them used!!!!
Many thanks for reviewing these books, I found it very useful! I am currently planning my own sweaters with Ann Budd's book of top-down sweaters...can you tell which book is best for telling me how to decrease/increase in colourwork for different sleeve types e.g. raglan??
thanks for this video, it was exactly what I was looking for and now my book wish list just got bigger lol. just a note though. book number 3 in the video and the listing in the description for book number 3 are actually 2 different books, both by vogue though.
