A great resource for knitters of every level. Not too technical to dissuade, but a rather inviting read by an seasoned knitting instructor.
A must for every knitter's library.

Terrific book, excellent teacher
She helps with the things other books don't tell you. How to choose the right yarn, fitting suggestions and finishing techniques. Many others. I found it to be invaluable.
