I love this book. Although I don't play roller derby I usually take knitting patterns and adapt the design to fit what I want to do.
This book caters to all level of knitters. "Fresh meat" being easy and "veteran" for the more advanced. Of course the "Fresh meat" patterns might seem "boring" to a more advanced knitter, but the writing and stories in the book more than entertained me. I think this book is is a nice break form all the standard knitting books. Like I said it is well written with a sense of humor.
Like you said it is as much a roller derby book as it is a knitting book. A must buy.
