Title: The Title Says it All!
Review: This is an excellent book for begining knitters! The patterns are extremely readable, and easy to follow. The stitches used should be within the range of most beginning knitters. The only downside is that many of the yarns recommended are pricey or hard to find. I couldn't find one of the yarns so I had to use two different yarns (knitting them both at once) to achieve gauge, at a cost of $110! For a beginning knitter, whose stitching may not yet be where it will be later, making this type of investment may not be worth it. However, I was an advanced beginner and pretty confident of my needlework, so it was fine for me (and the jacket *was* stunning!). The patterns are absolutely top notch, and the author provides many, many options for embellishing and customizing to achieve a truly one-of-a-kind treasure!
