review 1: The only project that really caught my eye was Ysolda's contribution, the "Orchid Thief" shawl. Can't wait to make that! Also intrigued by a pretty blue camisole, but there are similar patterns in other books.The bios that precede each pattern are a little repetitive after a while, and I skimmed over most of them. As with any knitting book, make sure to double-check the website before beginning a project - there was a problem with the chart for the shawl.
review 2: "26 projects and personalities from the knitting blogosphere" pretty much sums up what this book is all about. Lots of the personalities have connections to Ravelry. I borrowed the book from my boss for a quick look and really liked the book. My library doesn't have a copy so I can't borrow it for... more a more in-depth review.* I didn't read the personality parts of the book. They look like they might be interesting enough, but these are usually the parts that I skim through in knitting books. I don't really care about reading someone else's story of how they learned to knit. * Love that they included pictures at the beginning of the book for all the patterns includes.* Lovely photography. Pictures are available of items with and without models, which I find very helpful.* Each pattern has a brief description, tells the knitting level and skills needed, lists tools and yarns, and includes other important construction information. I haven't made anything from the book, though I did make a copy of a hat pattern, but the pattern directions seem to be straightforward and are presented well on the page. I definitely want to take a closer look at this book! less
