Great, adaptable patterns for everyone. Fun photography and quick but still engaging little projects, even for advanced knitters. After eye surgery, my mother wore the pirate eye patch I made her from this book.

Great patterns and crochet instructions. Makes it easy to transition from knit to chochet.

Disclosure: I admit I know the author, but she got married about a year before me, and we ended up stealing a bunch of her ideas. If I had it to do over, I'd steal even more; this book is sure to be amazing.

Gorgeous patterns with unusual shaping keep me learning new techniques. This is not a book for people to are casual in technique; it appeals to the unforgiving German in me. If you're sick of knitting the same old hats, especially, this is a really inspiring book.

If you're at all interested in understanding the constuction of bikinis, lingerie, or even looking to make a burlesque costume, this is the book to check out. A must for understanding elasticized yarns!
