Finally... A genius to hold your hand
I am a self-confessed Apple lover and part-time geek. Living in the UK, I was one of the first Brits to get by grubby paws on the original iPhone - a mere 3 days after it went on sale in the US. Of course, I had to upgrade it to a 16GB version when that was released, and again when the iPhone 3G came out. In short, I think the iPhone is a mighty fine phone indeed. As an architecture, the ...

Jeanette Trotman

Krause Publications, 2004

maybe not easy . . .
I have to start out by saying I am about as novice a knitter as there could be, so the 'easy' in the title was enticing. Looking through the patterns now, while they are perhaps a bit beyond my skill, seem varied in skill level, with some easy, some that seem more dificult. The projects are not your typical scarf, mittens, etc. that you usually find in 'easy' books; they are fun, stylish and ...

This book, however, is so easy to follow, packed full of illustrations and great projects!
