Negative Positive
Title: Wonderfully instructive!
Review: As a somewhat inexperienced knitter (been knitting very little more than stockinette stitch for nigh on 30 years), I found this book to be excellent! The patterns -- reworked from traditional designs into knitting patterns reflective of the origins and intentions of the originals -- are lovely, and the photographs give you a marvelous preview of what the finished product should look like. Of course, the one that I chose was one of the most complex in the book. The charting and instruction given, including (and especially) the section on techniques, were most helpful, and I was able to create an heirloom quality piece without running to anyone in the middle of the night for assistance. I'm eager to try another!BE ADVISED: It does take quite a long time to finish some of these projects. It has taken me three months to finish one since I don't have large blocks of time to spend. Not sure how many hours total, but it's been well worth the investment in time.
