I'm probably an intermediate knitter, but I felt like this book had a lot of really good information for me to learn from it. There is a lot of detail in the definitions, and the illustrations are very clear and helpful. Within what this covers there feels like a good mix of basic and beginning terms as well as more advanced terms so this would make a great gift for knitters of different skill levels. Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of this book physically, as well as the contents within the book. Would highly recommend for the knitter's you may know in your own life. Definitely consider giving it as a gift for the knitters in your life for the next gift-giving holiday. Definitely would recommend!
