New Book

I have been searching for a knitting book that had all sorts of stuff in it like, needle sizes, tips, and lists of knits and purls, cables, lace, etc. 
I have finally found a book to my liking pertaining to the list above!
Its called The Knitting Stitch Bible by Maria Parry- Jones. 
I got this from Half-Priced Books. You should be able to find this book at any book store.
One of the things I really enjoy about this book so far is that it includes charts and a key on how to read the charts. 
So I decided to try a couple out and one that I particularly like is this chart of an anchor. 
The picture of the book didn't turn out how I wanted but at least you can see the anchor and get the idea.
  

I'm not sure what I am going to make with this yet I'm either going to make a checkered baby blanket or a scarf using the colors I used in this little square (white and a turquoise) and use the color black. 

Anyways I just wanted to share the book I recently picked up and tell how much of a great book it is for knitters. I mean sure you can just do an online search for charts and stuff but I like the book because its all right here and you don't have to go searching for a picture of it actually knitted or search several websites in search for something you want/need. I don't know I find it nice to have all of it right here in a book for me to look at.

Hope you enjoyed! :)
