Great book for all types of knitters from beginners to experts. It has details of terms, how to apply these to the type of knitting you do and how to have success outcomes of projects. It is seen as a key book for knitters to learn from and to use when teaching others. I like the format and the style. The pictures are well done. The definitions of types of yarn is very helpful. The patterns and when to use them will make any knitter a success. In addition how to repair a pattern is very helpful for both beginners and advanced knitters. Knitting is such a trend these days and those who are engaged in projects will find this book a great library and skill book to have and to share as they go forward with knitting.
