Yes I read knitting books. Deal with it.
James has an amusing voice and having met him at the Knititation workshop I bought this book at, his lovely Northern Ireland accent narrated for me.
I consider myself an experienced knitter but some of the tips, whilst stuff I do, are clearly explained for the new knitter.
I will make some of the Nibbles and do at least one of the patterns.
James and Thomas need to write a Knititation book next.

Disappointed. Patterns are unfortunately unimaginative.
