Knitting is modern and cool when you use Astor Tsang's guide to knitting and crafting cool wool wears and gifts. Here accomplished knitwear designer, teacher, and author Astor Tsang, spins the needle on the knit revolution. With years of experience tutoring beginners in the art of knitting, she takes readers on a do it yourself journey from no-knit novice to casting connoisseur. The traditional craft of knitting is deconstructed and presented in a no-fuss and easy to understand manner that is fun and engaging. The opening section "Getting started" introduces the tools and terminologies of the trade, providing how-to knowledge on topics such as reading yarn labels, choosing yarn and yarn substitutes, and measurements. The second section "How to knit" is a simple stitch-by-stitch guide to slipknots, casting on, knit and purl stitches, tension, turning, and casting off. Next "Finishing" presents the techniques of blocking, sewing, and darning ends. The next section "Beyond the Basics" offers readers an opportunity to take their skills up a stitch, learning techniques such as transferring stitches and creating buttonholes. This section also has instructions for knitting on a gauge, ending and joining yarn, and casting on mid-row. If this all sounds a tad technical, the final section, "Projects" is where newly minted knitters chose from six patterns to begin creating their funky fleecy designs. There are easy-to -ollow patterns for a scarf, slouch hat, pillow monster, tube top, shrug, and sweater. The book is infused with Astor Tsang's teaching philosophy of 'making knitting possible' and 'demystifying knitting and crocheting', and her belief that there is no one right way to do knitting. All the how-to knowledge is presented in a light-hearted manner with the author spinning a witty yarn or two along the way. Join the revival of this old-fashioned art into the trend of today and get creative with Hip Knitting: Stylish Projects for the Absolute Beginner.Shipping Notes

Quality and balance
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
If you are reading this review and looking at this watch, you are most likely someone that appreciates mechanical movements and the rich history behind them and the brands that are known for making quality watches which have a beautiful balance between a timepiece and a piece of jewelry. For me, I have multiple sport watches with many complications and some that cost as much or even more than this Tissot Le Locle but anyone that wears a watch and appreciates the heritage of a mechanical movement must own this watch. The jewelry part of this watch is amazing, not loud, just a refined look making a statement that this is not something cheap. The picture does not do it justice. The dial has an amazing "personality" where under low lighting it looks silver and under normal lighting soft white making a beautiful contrast between the black hands and black roman numerals only to surprise you again when you change the viewing angle and the black numerals change to silver. The black hands will give you no trouble reading the time at a glance and 39mm will prove to be the perfect size for any wrist.
The movement is high quality as expected to be in a Tissot and will be working for many years to come so you can pass this watch down to another generation. As a matter of fact, last year my mother who is 78 found the Tissot watch she had in her youth that was in a box with old family watches and she had not worn for decades. She gave the crown a few spins and the watch came back to life keeping accurate time. This is what you can expect from a Tissot movement.
So if you are buying this for your self, you are in the right place, if you are buying it for someone else, make sure they can appreciate what this is otherwise you are better off spending your money elsewhere.
You should also consider getting quality quick release black and brown leather straps with a classic buckle to make this watch suitable for any attire.

An Exciting and Beautiful Watch
Color: Grey
Update 2-11-18 More time has passed and my satisfaction with the watch continues to grow; it is gratifying to me to simply look at the watch on my arm, I am so pleased with its appearance and operation that it is a joy to wear and to watch its competent functioning. It is keeping excellent time and shows a loss of only a few seconds each day; it is truly a fine watch.
Update 2-3-18 I have researched the watch and discovered some interesting questions about locating the serial number. In checking the literature sent with the watch I noticed the small tag attached to the watch identified the serial number as a series of nine letters which are repeated on the case of the watch. I also looked up the barcode and the first three numbers indicated Switzerland to be the country of origin and accurately identified this watch specifically. I"m satisfied this is an authentic watch from Tissot.
I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but to me this is an elegant and beautiful watch and the nicest I have ever owned; it was delivered this afternoon and impressed me greatly right out of the box. I have reset the time and date and it seems to be operating perfectly. I had felt some concern for its authenticity but after seeing the watch and its packaging my concerns have all disappeared; to me it looks and feels like the excellent quality I would expect from Tissot..
Sadly the Certificate of Authenticity had been removed by the seller and on contacting them I was told they reserved the right to do that if they wanted to. I see in at least one other case shown under comments the seller left the document for the buyer. The watch itself strongly indicates the authenticity I had hoped for from the Tissot brand so I'm not all that troubled by the seller's decision.
The user manual is tiny and limited in information; a better copy is available online as a PDF file; I've downloaded the file and suggest you might want to consider that option as well.

Jewel case not included!
Color: Grey
I ordered this item and received it without the case shown in the pictures. Contacted Amazon and asked for a replacement - and the customer service over the phone was very understanding about the missing case.
The replacement also showed up without the jewel case.
I love this watch, but the buying experience wasn't great. Also, on certain occasions it has lost time after being worn for several days and then not being worn for one day. Kinda disappointing. Still, gorgeous to look at, feels great on my wrist.
