Nicely Done!

This book provides some very lovely, refreshing ideas & designs that will knit up quickly for yourself, or as a gift. The designs allow some "play" with newer yarns on the market & will appeal to the younger crowd, as well. There's a wide variety of patterns offered. I don't get much time to knit, but I love to knit. This book was a great solution for my personal situation - a hectic home schedule! The photography is nicely done, provides good photos of each project. A little bit of imagination on behalf of the individual knitter would take what this book has to offer, far! It's a nice surprise!

Great book for renewed knitter (me!)

I borrowed this book from my local library, and I have to say I am thrilled with it! I was never a very good knitter, preferring to sew, quilt, or crochet, but with relatively easy patterns like these, I expect to improve greatly, if only through practice from making several of the projects. Although the patterns are fairly basic, perhaps too much so for more experienced knitters, the use of relatively inexpensive, widely available yarns, makes them look completely different from similar projects found in a typical "learn to knit" book made from garden-variey acrylic yarn. I'm a very visual person, but have trouble picturing in my mind how a certain project would look made up in a fancier yarn, so I really appreciate the great photos of these projects made in nicer yarns - different from those I use in my humanitarian work, for example. I like the looks of the finished projects and the clearly written patterns so well that about half the people on my Christmas gift list will be receiving items made from this book (yes, even the guys!). Listing the brand name and specific color of the yarn used in each project has been very helpful to me as I've shopped online for similar yarns before hitting the stores. In short, I think this book is great, and I look forward to adding it to my personal library in the near future.
