review 1: As a tutorial this book is great and it has some very useful info. But, it was the cover that attracted me and I was very disappointed that no where in the book did I find instructions on how to start a 5 color scarf like the cover. I thought maybe you cast on beginning triangles for the long side (maybe 30 triangles for a long shawl) but the photos clearly show the colors worked vertically, not horizontally. For that reason, I feel like it's almost false advertising. The most attractive feature of the book is not actually in the book.
review 2: I took a class with Rosemary at Vogue Knitting Live in January 2011. That class made the whole conference worth it! I'd always wanted to learn entrelac and found it very confusing until that day. I was so excited to ... moreget this book. It is a very good book - if you've taken her class. I had no problem following the instructions and patterns in the book because I had taken the class. However, I do NOT think that someone could pick up this book and understand it without the class. I assumed that the handouts she gave us in class would be included in the book or at least something similar would be included. No such luck. Good think I kept those handouts!That said, I do like this book. I just need a LOT more practice before my knitting is any good. Entrelac isn't as scary as it looks but it's also not necessarily for beginners like me. less
