Target Audience: a mixed bunch, most beginner to intermediate there are some advanced intermediate stuff here but mostly it's pretty basic stuff.

How to knit guide: no; does have a quick guide to timing for stuff but it does assume a certain knitting speed that isn't really defined.

Experimental/Classical/Modern: mostly pretty classical with some modern twists thrown in

Comments: Some interesting patterns in here, some of them are quite basic and some would be good pieces for someone to stretch themselves with. There are some adaptations suggested and many of them are pretty classic pieces that could be worn again and again. It's a good basic book of interesting patterns and the photographs make many of the patterns look quite well.

Buy/Borrow: Borrow. You might find that many of the patterns aren't for you, it's a book I'd look over before buying and make sure that what's there isn't just a colour variation on something you already have. That being said, many of the patterns could be made over and over in different variations.

Where found: Just new in, there's demand on this title!
