The Yarn Girls' Guide To Beyond The Basics by Jordana Jacobs, Julie Carles (2005, Hardcover)

Once again, the Yarn Girls come through with easy patterns that look impressive. Instructions and illustrations are good enough to get an advanced novice knitter into great looking garments and accessories that look more complicated than they actually are...chunky yarn and big needles make these projects fast. Go ahead--dare impress your friends and family! If you are tired of scarves or felted bags, and have made at least one "basic" sweater, then you are ready for this book.

Great reference book. Yes, the patterns are for intermediate and advanced knitters....however, you'll be glad as I am to have it in my knitting library. There is a clear glossary of terms/explanations of knitting stitches. Since I "study" the patterns before venturing on any knitting project that works well for me. Get the book and enjoy it as much as I do!
