4.0 out of 5 stars Isela is the loom master!, May 16, 2008

when I began my journey into Loom Knitting, Isela's website provided me with so much assistance and wonderful products. I am involved in many looming groups and she is revered highly. I LOVED her first book so I didn't hesitate to put my pre-order in for her second. I like the variety she has included in this new book. A little for everyone. I am looking forward to starting several of the projects. The only negative I personally had is the over-abundance of infant/child patterns. I myself am not interested in these and they do take up a good portion of the patterns. That was my only disappointment. Overall it is a excellent book, and if you don't own the 1st, it is nice that she gives insight of some of the basics/stiches to get you started. Thanks Isela.

Not for those who are totally new to loom knitting. Try her other book (Loom Knitting Primer) if you want to learn about loom knitting and the variety of stitches that can be performed on looms.

Patterns are sometimes hard to follow. There are plenty of typos and bad page layouts. Overall it felt like an amateur production. There were some nice patterns for adults, but most of the patterns are for kids or toddlers.

This book's for someone who's got the basics down-pat & is ready to try something more innovative! A lot of funtastic ideas & designs, & still a few items for the faint at heart or someone advancing from the beginner stage! I felt that anyone who enjoys the loom knitting would have to simply LOVE this book!
