review 1: Such an awesome pattern book! Terrific designers and very enticing things to knit included in this beautifully presented book. I will definitely be making a number of them. The information about heart health is well laid out and useful, but to be honest, I'm more interested in the patterns. The designer autobiographies are well written... not always the case! The patterns vary in level of difficulty and there are enough easy (but not rank beginner) patterns to keep most knitters excited.I was sent a copy of this book through Goodread's First Reads.
review 2: Ok, so a bit of a disclaimer: I work for Jimmy Beans Wool. Laura Zander is our owner and this is our book. It includes patterns designed by our very own 'beans', ('employees' for you non-initiates!) K
... moreristen and Jeanne. I'm usually not one for pattern books because often there are only 1 or 2 patterns that I like and would actually knit. I usually prefer to buy my patterns individually instead. This book would have been different for me even if I didn't work for JBW -- most of the patterns are stuff that I would actually knit and wear. I really enjoyed learning about how the different designers were affected by heart disease and being able to put a face to familiar names. Plus, some yummy recipes!!! On top the that, a portion of the proceeds go to a good cause - The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health in support of the Heart Truth. First up on my list of projects from this book will be Kieran Foley's stole, Kristen's bag, and Jared Flood's mittens! Friends and family, expect Knit Red Christmas gifts! less

Beautiful patterns, well illustrated but not a book for knitter's with little experience.
