My book review
This is a great resource for knitters of any skill level! This book is chock full of a variety of stitch patterns, from a very simple, sturdy pattern to very light and airy lace like patterns. The book has such a large variety of options, it will be difficult to choose just one.
I envision making a sampler Afghan using blocks of these stitches after some practice. The patterns are well written and easy to follow, using standard knitting terms. There are many mulit-color options, too. They are mosaic looking and very nice.
