Thoroughly enjoyed the items I knit from this book and I have several more planned. I don't do lace, and was sure I didn't want this book and would never knit from it. I bought it to make the Katherine Hepburn cardigan as a gift. It turns out I really like many of the patterns, and have put items from this book on my to-do list.
The book has 21 patterns and only 3 pages with errata, but the sizing seems to run small and tight.

This is a fantastic book with excellent, beautiful, modern patterns that I can't wait to try.
Love this book. Love it. Not a lace knitter but I am one now!
Love, Love, LOVE!!! It is hard to decide what to do first. I think the cover jacket is it though, feather and fan is my favorite pattern ever.
