Of course the fun part is the knitting itself, and there is a fine array of diverse projects in this book, all with lengthy instructions and handsome photographs. This is NOT a book intended to teach knitting to a beginner, so if this is what you want you will have to go elsewhere (but not very far as Search Press has many excellent books of this type). It is a book of projects, touching briefly on such useful things as needle sizes (circular needles) and abbreviations, but otherwise it is on with the patterns. There are many different ones for men, women and children including hats, gloves, shawls, lots of lovely bags, knitted baskets, an angel decoration, a rug, mats, cushions and more. I particularly like the slippers, suitable for the whole family and the elegant longline bead trimmed cardigan. There truly is something for everybody in here... just add a washing machine!
