How about a technique book today?
The Knitter's Companion by Vicki Square is an excellent quick reference. There is a little bit of everything in here. It is by no means in-depth. It is just little bits from all of knitting.
Yes, you can use Google much the same way, but I like having the book. I can write myself notes in it, I can use it when I'm not plugged into the internet, and I like books. Also, I don't have to weed through 10 million hits to find the one I want.
I like the diagrams. Some books have hard to understand diagrams, but this book has great diagrams. I also seem to always understand the directions, which is nice.
So, if you find yourself forgetful, like me, or you are new to knitting and want a quick coverage of almost everything and/or a quick reference, I highly recommend this book.
