Pretty pictures and inspiring colorways, to be true. It's a small book and the patterns are all scarves and bags (I think, without looking back). No garments. Aimed at a very beginning knitting and very encouraging to someone who is just starting out.

One of the project pictures gave me the idea to try knitting dead pantyhose. Still need to test that.

Net: One good idea harvested. Glad it was in the library.

Did not like this book. Returned. As an experienced knitter, who teaches and designs, I found this book unusable. I do buy alot of book online with out seeing them first. This was the first time a ever looked at a book that was terrible. The pictures of the items that were to be knitted only showed you part of the item. The layout was bad. It didn't draw you in to want to make any thing. This was the worst knitting book I ever saw. Did not give me any ideas, as I a usally get from any book and/or magazine. All my student felt same way. We all could not figure out want items were being made.

I like this book. I'm a basic knitter so this has lots of ideas for different ways to make scarfs, bags, rugs etc. I can see how it would not be of interest to a more experienced knitter though.

This is a great book for beginners (like myself) who have already mastered the garter stitch. The projects for the bags are very clear. Being a beginner though some of the abbreviations can be confusing, but they are very easy to figure out once you look at them again. You can always look up what the mean online or in another knitting book.

This is a very good book. It is easy to understand and use. This is a good seller the book is like new.--thanks

Well, as a potential buyer, I find it annoying that the author would give permission to Amazon to let you "search" inside her book and then come to find when I "searched" she wouldn't give permission to see photos. So, nothing is viewable! How insulting. Wouldn't buy due to that alone.

WHY agree to allow a peak into the book, and not actually show anything??!!??
I purchase knitting books based upon wanting instructions for one or more of the items pictured.
NO PICTURES - NO PURCHASE !

fabulous, best possible book from pt of view of design imagination, originality, clarity, and the book production itself as to colour, photography, ease of use.....
