Where's the underground? Many projects look pretty much main stream (Ribbed Flowers, Midnight Cable Scarf, Cosy Cable Hat). The book is nicely designed with clear, professional photography. I can't speak to how correct the directions are as I haven't made anything but I flagged the Smock and Mirrors Smock as something I am interested in. There are stitch charts and schematics for projects that need them. There are skill levels noted and pieces for beginners to experienced.
