I ordered this book because of the cover art. I've seen other Jean Moss knitwear and although it's a bit abstract I like the truth. Many projects are diagrams. So if you can't read charts, skip this book. But if that doesn't bother you and you need a book for ideas, then this is a great book. My goal when buying a book is to have at least 3 designs I want to make. There are 11 in this book, plus the ideas she gives me for others.
