Speed Knitting, Kris Percival, Randy Stratton. Another disappointingly basic pattern book, Speed Knitting promises quick to knit projects that are innovative as well as stylish - what it delivers are more large gauge basics easily found on any online learn-to-knit site. I'm past the point where I need instructions for a garter-stitch scarf, and I don't think I've used anything larger than size 13 needles since finishing one of Teva Durham's large-gauge vests. If you need quick-to-knit items, I'd suggest a good web search, or the appropriately named
Last-Minute Knitted Gifts, which offers more than just presenty patterns.
