I love this book as it is full of inspirational ideas for knitters who want to create their own patternsI used some of the patterns in a recent workshop on lace knitting and the participants thoroughly enjoyed testing out some of the designs to create their own scarves using a range of colours.
The photography is excellent as one can clearly see what each pattern should look like. The instructions are easy to follow and there is something there for new knitters as well as the more confident accomplished ones. I highly recommend the book as an addition to your collection of knitting designs.
