I've always been a very basic knitter....and because of that, I just don't knit often. However, I really am looking forward to trying some of the techniques in this book. No, I won't ever knit a sweater or anything as "complicated" as that, but I like the patterns in this book. The instructions and illustrations really are easy to follow. If needed it refers you back to another page for instructions.
Look out family---prepare yourself for handmade knitted wash/dishcloths or scarves for gifts next Christmas! I made scarves a couple of years ago for Christmas (just straight knitting), but feel confident that I can make fancier ones with the instructions in this book.
I can even make fancier trimmings on those scarves with the instructions in the book.
