The pictures are great & the projects (for the most part) are interesting, but I have to caution potential buyers that there are many mistakes or missing info in the instructions and/or materials lists. A beginning knotter will have trouble doing these projects.

This book offers good design ideas and different techniques than other "macrame" books. Only issue I had with it was there was no reference to the specific brands of thread used in the book (and I can't find anything like the yarn that was used on the front cover).

The writer does not know how to give complete, understandable instructions. The pictures and ideas are great; the communication is not so great. One diagram has instructions that are opposite the picture! This is not about beginners or advanced knotters, this is a writing problem. I had to get a different book to clear up some issues that resulted in wasted materials.

This book is more for the "advanced knotter" and not for the beginner. However, the pictures show some of the most gorgeous knotted pieces that a person will ever see & therefore may be worth purchasing for this alone.

Even though this book is too advanced for me, I still love it because the projects are so inspiring, and they have gotten me to take a few "jewelry knotting classes".

Not only are the photos amazing, but also the color combinations chosen by the author are wonderful!

This is a great bead book! It has really inspired me to make some beautiful pieces of jewelry to sell on my website.
