30 Day Knitting Challenge - Day Fifteen - What was your least favorite pattern and why? What is your favorite knitting book?

I did not like the original question for today, mostly because I didn’t have an answer for it- if I am not enjoying a pattern, then I will stop, frog, and start something else. There’s no use on working on something I hate!

Instead, my favorite book… I have a lot, but I think DomiKNITrix: Whip Your Knitting Into Shape is my #1 favorite! Not so much for it’s patterns, but for the wealth of information it offers. Unlike other pattern books, this one encourages you to try different yarn weights and fibers, and guides you in how to re-estimate how much you might need if you decide to change things up, along with showing different cast-ons and bind-offs, installing zippers, etc. Love the writing, and that shiny black cover isn’t bad on the eyes, either! I think this is a great book for any intermediate knitter that wants to start learning more~
