Query: Not for the New Knitter

This book is thought provoking and helpful - especially the first section of techniques. The designs are not for beginning knitters - which is just fine. I found that a reaading of E. Zimmerman's book (Knitting without Tears) first went a long way in helping to make things more clear. As another reviewer stated the arms on most of the sweaters look very narrow - again this is fine if you are used to adjusting patterns to fit your needs.
