Knitting Books

Books on Knitting (and sometimes Crochet!)

Here are some books that I have found useful.  Check them out from the library.  I have given you the Amazon link so that you can read the reviews, "search inside", browse for other related books, etc.  That is how I found many of these books and then checked them out from the library to see if I wanted to purchase them.  (No particular order).
