Lots of pictures, which are all in black and white.
Close to 90 percent of this book is identical to the manuals that come with the machines - very basic. The DVD does show the casting on, knitting, intarsia, transfering stitches and binding off taking place, but no sound.? I finally got to see a linker in action. There is a chapter on blocking and assembling a sweater. The final chapter has a couple projects . . . a scarf, hat, sweater and slippers. I actually made 2 sets of slippers - which uses the 'short-rowing' technique.
Not a very creative book, I was expecting to learn to do some fancy stitches on my machine. But, if you've lost your manual(s), this is your book.

As a complete amateur to machine knitting (or even hand knitting) I found this book to be a very useful. I do not have access to classes of any form for machine knitting in my area and the book/DVD format helped clear up some of the frustrating areas that occur with the learning curve. I expect to continue to use this book/DVD as I learn more & more in this interesting craft.
