Have use this book much more that I thought. Many great patterns. ( )

While some of the patterns in this book aren't really to my taste some of the design ideas would make you think about ways to change things or make them your own. Some of them are pretty average and none are all that demanding of an intermediate knitter but there's a good deal of variety and maybe something for a beginner who is ready to strech their wings to become an intermediate knitter on pretty repeditive and/or small scale projects.

This work is a collection of over 30 stylish knitted accessories for all seasons, from gloves and scarfs, to hats and ponchos. Styles vary from silky skinny scarfs, funky brimmed hats and chic city sets to a pretty lace shawl and cute mittens. It takes into account the exciting choice of yarns available to the modern knitter, and focuses on using these to maximum effect. Variation ideas take the projects further, showing different patterns, yarns and styles through detailed photography and colourful artworks. Easy-to-follow techniques ensure great results, whether giving a simple scarf a professional finish, or adding an eyecatching trim to an embellished hat. ( )
