For a beginning knitter like myself, most of these projects are far too advanced, so this is not that satisfying or helpful as a source from which to learn. Still, if you're a very serious Harry Potter fan, and are therefore willing to bang your head against learning to knit until you can produce the items described, it is an absolute must have. Moreover, there are one or two beginner pieces in here that make it worthwhile, especially the ubiquitous and much-sought house scarves. ( )If you are like me and love knitting and love Harry Potter, then this book is what you are looking for. It has awesome patterns for scarves, gloves, and all kinds of Harry Potter related knits that are fun. I bought this book after borrowing a copy from the library. It is full of great basic patterns and would be a great beginners book. I have been knitting for years but I have found it to be a useful resource for basic patterns I did not have copies of. I have made several items, check out the bookmark scarves, I made 20 of them for summer reading club prizes at the library. They have been very popular. If you like Harry Potter and you need a few good basic patterns to use this is a very affordable book to get. This book has some lovely patterns for the Harry Potter devotee in your life. I am making the Mrs. Weasley Stitch Witchery Bag and having a great time with it. That pattern, and a few others, are worth checking out even if Harry Potter isn't really your thing. no reviews | add a review
