If you are looking for a "pattern" book with lots of glossy photos and step-by-step patterns that show you how to knit an item exactly like ones found at the Woolly Thoughts website, then you will probably be just a bit disappointed. This book is not exactly a "pattern book" per se. Rather it is more about the methodology and formulas behind modular knitting. Everything is knit in garter stitch, and made using a few basic geometric shapes, so the actual knitting is easy, even for a novice. In many ways similar to patchwork quilting, the designs are limited only by your imagination. The book has lots of charts and graphs and all the information you need to design and knit your own unique garments and home accessories. ( )
