I believe when it comes to crafts and how they are done, this book is a great way to learn how to do a project in great detail. It is new ideas and projects. Good for the crafters looking for new ideas! Definitly would recommend it. Wendibrown

I took this book out at the library and liked it so well, I bought a copy! It has a number of quick projects using not just a variety of yarns, but fabric strips and other materials. I am looking forward to knitting several of them.

Note: I am a beginner and found the how to knit instructions very helpful. You don't need to have another book to learn the stitches. The instructions for the projects were quite easy to follow as well.
