    Synopsis

    This collection of 33 patterns chosen from hundreds of entries submitted by yarn shops across the country is full of personal stories, knitting wisdom, and favorite tips from the people who have helped fuel today's knitting revolution. The patterns range from designer sweaters and knits for kids to small take-along projects. More than a pattern book, this delightful collection is like a trip to the yarn shop, a private session with the best knitters around, and a friendly chat with the country's most passionate knitters all rolled into one.

    April 12, 2005: This book and the pictures make it appear to be a coffee table book. But you won't be able to leave it alone. The patterns are beautiful and the stories, a perk. I've been knitting for almost thirty years, and I've completed more projects out of this book since purchasing it one year ago than any other in my knitting library. I would recommend it to beginners and experienced knitters alike.

    November 22, 2001: This book is a wonderful addition to any knitters library. In the way of patterns, it has something for everyone: sweaters for adults and kids, accessories, gifts, and some very charming toys.These are quality designs, ranging from classic to whimsy. New knitters and seasoned ones will all find many projects that they will want to dive into. Best of all are the stories about the people in the yarn retailing business: learn how they got started, and take an armchair tour of their shops. There is also a national yarn shop directory for those of us who get out of armchair-travel mode and on the road. Copy those pages and stick them in your car's glove box, you never know when you'll need them! One last nice feature: A listing of yarns in gauge order in the back, for those of us yarn collectors ( we know you are out there) who have a stash of yarn and need to pick a project. A must-buy!
