I did make the stocking stitch and garter before buying this book. Thanks to the technical bases which are explained very easily, I was able to get into the level of advance and expert works !!! The twists and other points were perforated more mysteries for me. The finishes are very well explained and after a disappointing first try, I'm in my third pull very succeeded! By cons, of course, when one hangs on an explanation, the one book is not enough and it makes sense to register a forum tricteuses!
