review 1: I read this book in print and e-book format. It is impressive in either format. The author presents the different styles of color knitting in a comprehensive, concise and easily understood fashion. The illustrations alone explain so many different techniques, not counting the well written descriptions of the different color knitting types.This book has an important place on any serious knitter's bookshelf or flash drive. It is an excellent reference which a knitter will consult over and over again. I wish it had been available when I began knitting many years ago!
review 2: I got this book from the library and I'm planning to buy it for my knitting reference shelf.Good discussion on color theory (I've taught it in a different context and it's very easy to m... moreuddle so I'm impressed). Lots of techniques and stitches. Very clear explanations, and tons of tips. Not very many projects, but I didn't really miss them.I loved the photos, where you could see the effects of using different stitches on the same yarn, or different colors on the same project side-by-side. Some of the things in here I'd figured out the hard way, and I'm so pleased I don't have to do that now.Not for the super beginning knitter, but once somebody gets down the basics, this is a total recommendation read. less
