  • Very informative

    This is exactly what I was looking for. This book has so many different knots. Imagine all the different types of jewelry one can make. I purchased this book used but it is in excellent condition. There may be some difficult knots to make but I think I will be able to figure them out. You get great information, pictures, a couple of templates, projects, techniques, and variations to expand on making the knots. This is a very good reference book. I was able to follow it.
