This isn't at all to say this isn't a worthwhile reference--I would highly recommend it, it's very well modernized from the previous two versions. because I feel like the pictures showing you how to knit can be confusing so I end up looking them up on YouTube half the time.I love the drawn techniques; they make so much more sense to me than descriptions or even watching YouTube videos. This is an amazing resource that covers every aspect of knitting you can think of, in enough detail to get you own your way. As an example, the entrelac section in Directional Knitting includes the page number of different stitches that are used with entrelac so you can refer back to those instructions.

I have been knitting for a long time but I am a slow knitter so am definitely not as skillful as I should be.

Existing reviews already confirm that this is an excellent resource for knitters of all levels and has buckets of useful information. While the title of the book could make you think this is the only book you'll need, there is a lack of explanation on alternate names for some techniques and some common stitch names, for instance with brioche knitting where the more common brk's and brp's (barks and burps) that are most commonly used are not seen.
