1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. LovelyBy Nancy LindquistThis book is filled with strong instructions; beautiful photographs and projects that I am able to do. There is something for everyone. Ive tweaked many of the projects I want to make and thats what I do. However; there is very little that needs to be done and I find the fit to be exceptional in the garment Ive made. While not all on trend; many of the designs easily are timeless and deserve the work placed into them and the yarns to make them heirloom.While I have elected not to use many of the fibers suggested; I am planning to use fibers with similar structure and drape. I will update this review as I make garments and work on shaping.I am a reasonably new continental knitter. I do wish there were more schematics; but that is just starting in knitting; unlike crochet and will take a while. I do have software that will convert many of the harder bits into schematics; if I post the pattern in the program. Its not fun; but I always do better with a map; rather than a sea of words.

The book spans all seasons; so you can always find an excuse to knit. Everything is well explained and well charted. If you want to start a pattern; just check if there are any errors and knit away. I love all the designs in this book. Its a winner for me; and Im an intermediate knitter. There are lots of beautiful photos and ideas in this book; along with a helpful section about different stitches. Worth every penny.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. beautiful patterns. I cant wait to start knittingBy Christiebeautiful patterns. I cant wait to start knitting!
