review 1: BOTTOM LINE: Superb pattern book simply filled with wonderful designs, excellent presentation, pictures, and instructions, all of which use one skein of sock yarn per pattern. Gonna have to return my library copy soon, alas... Guess it's time to shell out for my own copy now.Most knitters love yarn, the brighter and/or more exotic patterned the better, and although many of the most beautiful yarn designs are for sock yarns, a great many knitters do not want to knit socks. This nifty thick large paperback book has beautiful organization/groupings, easy-to-understand instructions, terrific designs for pretty much anything a person might want to knit, AND - oh joy of joys!!! - EVERY pattern stitch is carefully described within the pattern as well as being charted for the more... more adventurous (and better-visioned) among us. There are 100 patterns, nicely organized in four sections:1. From Head to Toe (and fingers too!) 10 hats; 10 mitts, mittens, gloves; 10 socks2. It's a Wrap! 17 scarves, cowls, fichu, neckwraps; 6 shawls/shawlettes; a lace cardigan; a tank top3. Knits for Kids 24 designs, all sorts of clothes, ranging from hats to sweaters and dresses, and a couple of toys too4. Bag it, and More 8 bags; 2 glasses cases; 2 necklaces; 3 cosies (teapot, coffeepress, bottle); notebook sock; lampshade; 2 lace curtains; two holiday ornaments; table centerpiece and coasters; a dog sweater
review 2: Loved this book! I've only checked it out from the library, but I think investing in my own copy would be wise. The patterns are clear and concise, as well as unique and beautiful. I think I'll be making the Hera Headband for myself, and a few of the doll clothes for my little sister. They are the perfect size for American Girl dolls. The back of the book provides information on each of the designers, including websites and blog URLs. I highly recommend this book to any knitter, but especially to those who have a growing "stash", and want some cute and clever ways to make use of it. less
