5 STARS!

I give this 5 stars - the patters alone are worth the price of the {kindle} book. With a variety of yarns, embellishments & some imagination every pattern in this book can be used to make lovely, elegant, & funky designs, depending on your mood, age & body style. I got this edition on my kindle because I knit while traveling & want to take this book wherever I go! Definitely a great addition to my collection!

Really now - it is an EXCELLENT book.

If you're looking for patterns that are flashy and that might go out of style and be outdated in the next six months to a year, don't buy this book. With that being said, if you are looking for timeless styles that are quiet but still beautiful, then by all means DO buy this book; the patterns are all lovely and look to be beginner-friendly. As for the concern about the patterns calling for the author's brand of yarn, yes, that's true. However, the author does frequently mention the ribbon yarn's width and yardage needed, so if you don't mind doing a little comparison shopping you should be able to find some cheaper yarn that will still work for you. (Isn't that what knitting is all about - being adventurous?) All in all, this one is a keeper. It will certainly be staying in my knitter's library and is a welcome addition.
