On the other hand, designer Peever already boasts a first volume to her credit--with readers clamoring for more. These dozen-plus patterns answer those requests. Although few are labeled outright about the level of difficulty, a quick read through the introductory blurb for each design will guide novices or close-to-pros about the appropriate choices.
