The best gift knitting book

I LOVE this book. I have been knitting for about five years and usually I am hesitant to get every new book that comes down the pike, but a woman at my LYS suggested this for the man's cardigan sweater for my husband and I hate to buy a book for just one pattern, but I really liked it, so I bit the bullet and plunked down my $24.95, but then when I got it home, I fell in love with the majority of the patterns and have already made the men's scarf, the airy Kid Silk Haze scarf and the fingerless gloves. And have plans for the many others. I agree with the reviewer who likes a book that uses yarns that you love and it does! This is a great book and I plan on giving it as gifts for my close friends who knit.

beautiful patterns, clearly explained

Sets a new standard for knitting books in its presentation and inspiration. From the angora baby booties to the yoga bag and hats and sweaters and poncho, my winter knitting projects are all set! Will definitely be visiting the Purl store in Soho on my next NYC weekend.
