[Robert · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good beginner book. learned a few things. Some of the knots were tied unnecessarily complicated but let's face it were learning to tie something three dimensional from a two dimensional book. You tie, then tie again and eventually learn how to tie it your own way anyway.

Good book for beginner to intermediate knot tiers I think. :-)

This book was really fun. I picked this up thinking it would be fun to find a craft to do with my scouts. The book has a wide range of patterns at varying difficulty levels.
