Book 2: The Purl Stitch by Sally Melville, DESTASH

A basics-and-beyond book with plenty of projects, friendly advice, and coaching throughout.  I knit several of these projects and they were a delight to follow along with. 

This book has 25 projects that are very attainable for a new knitter. It was copyrighted in 2003. Scroll through the pictures to see some of the projects.

New this book was listed as $19.95. I found it on Amazon for an average of $8 with free shipping.
