While this was a fun and interesting book to read I don't think it's one I'd buy and keep for my library. I'm a new knitter and come from a background of 20 years of scrapbooking. The ideas in this book made sense to me and reminded me of the color theories I'd learned and used in scrapbooking.

I liked the ideas. I loved the illustrations.
