This is Moss taking pity on her fans, a lot of the patterns being for beginners. I'm not nearly as fond of this as her other books. But, if you want classy brainless knitting, go for it!

Although not a book for beginners, this is a great resource for the more experienced knitter. It contains a wide variety of patterns with great designs for babies, women, men, the home, and even the family dog. Patterns utilize beads, specialty yarns, and put a new twist on several traditional forms such as mitts and boleros. Beautiful color illustrations motivate the knitter to start casting on right away. An appendix of techniques is illustrated and easy to follow. This would be a nice show more addition to the experienced knitter's collection. show less

I've already begun choosing my holiday knits from this book. There's a nice variety of gifts, different things than are usually offered. I can't wait to start knitting!

I really enjoyed reading this lively collection of projects to knit. There is a wonderful variety of projects to do for all skill levels. She also recommends how to simplify the more difficult projects with is encouraging for less skilled knitters. The instructions are clearly written and include such need to know items like how long it takes to make the project, and different colour combinations. At the end there is both a colour picture index of the projects as well as a full index of the show more book. Overall this is a fun group of projects that I look forward to knitting! show less
