This past weekend I had my friends Anne and Sherry over for a knitting 101 party. After a quick brush-up, they were off.
*serious knitters in action*
My favorite knitting basics books are the Stitch 'N Bitch series. While most knitting steps are like breathing to me, I am always pulling out my Happy Hooker book to brush up on my crochet skills. The steps are easy to follow, accompanied by great pictures, with witty comments worked in.
What are your favorite "how-to" books?

I love it that you are promoting our "religion" to your girlfriends!!!
I agree...the SnB books have great tutorials and descriptions, along with patterns. My other fave is Sally Melville's "KNIT" book. I find myself referring to it all the time.
