Another excellent knitting book that owes a lot to the superb photography, especially the front cover image. It conjures up warmth, fires, snug, cosy times and, of course, knitting. The description of beauty and ingenuity does not lie either. It is impossible to imagine just how many happy hours the experienced knitter will enjoy completing these beautiful items. Clear presentation and again, beautiful photos. If you are a knitter put it on your Christmas wish list or, if you know someone who knits, an ideal present.
