Okay, well, I'd consider myself "an idiot, but I can knit" when it comes to knitting...and I was disappointed by this book. Quite a few well-known and deservedly respected young/new designers, whose patterns I've happily knitted from, contributed to this collection, but none of the designs here impress me at all. It's like no one wanted to commit a truly great design to this book. Also, too much text (some of the designer bios are a bit self-indulgent) and not enough knitting. And the aesthetic of the whole book is weird - odd colours, odd yarn choices for some pieces, unappealing overall.
