I think that, although relatively simple in many ways weaving is a fiendishly difficult craft to describe in writing. I have only read this book, and not yet made anything using Mary Maddocks' instructions, but I feel sure that I will be able to work out many techniques that were alluding me before. For that I am grateful. This book is inspiring, clearly set out with photos of many of the stitches etc, and contains many sweetly poetic moments and tempting projects. A fine book for those of us just beginning with weaving.

This is a great resource book full of great photos that go along with each project. The instructions are also clearly laid out. It just didn't have the kind of patterns that I was interested in making but I think they would appeal to a great many people.
