    Beginner

    I picked up this book to make some scarves for the holidays, but liked it so much I want to try to make some of the other things. Even though I am a beginner, I was able to use the book and get my projects done.

    more from this reviewer

    Lot's of great ideas and patterns

    I love how this book is organized by the amount of time it will take to knit each gift. There is a large variety of patterns so there is something for everyone on your gift list. While I haven't had a chance to knit anything from this book yet, several are on my list.
