Inspiring excitement to create beautiful hand knitted work

Beautiful knitting designs page by page with excellent photography. Although, pattern symbols look intimidating; the reference page to the knitting symbols are clearly written for understanding. I was pleasantly surprised how many stitches I already knew how to make. Also, learning different knitting techniques that expanded my knowledge and confidence with knitting. This book is enjoyable to look at all the different types of designs. Sparks inspiration of what is possible. Excitement to combine the different pattern stitches to create a beautiful cohesive piece of knitted artwork.
