Oh my goodness...just beautiful patterns! The patterns are clear and well-written, with easy-to-read charts. The finished products are my aesthetic completely, and the pictures in the book show them off very well, without being over the top or fussy.

Put this book in your library. All the patterns are beautful with pictures showing details. The instructions are clear and concise. They are both charted and fully written out. Patterns included are shawls, hats, mittens, leg warmers, gorgeous sweaters, and even a headband. Best book of Patterns I have seen in a long time. A beginner or an experienced knitter will enjoy this book.

I love the overall look of all of these patterns. Plus, they include pictures to explain techniques that come up. That doesn't always happen, so I'm impressed.

Sometimes a luxury yarn should take center stage. These patterns -- from socks to sweaters, shawls and mitts to hats and a throw -- are simple enough to keep the spotlight on the yarn.

The patterns are simple and mostly made with heavy weight yarns, so they knit up fast. Simple lace and cable stitches add texture and special style, but they're not too hard for a beginner. Great for gifts, too.

Stitch patterns are generally given in chart form and written out in traditional knitting pattern fashion. The layout of the patterns makes it easy to follow the patterns and to find the right stitch instructions when needed. Notes about the pattern, clear legends for the charts, and detailed information about the materials needed mean that you don't have to flip back and forth through the book. It's all designed for relaxing knitting.

The patterns are pretty and trendy. Those that require fitting are offered in lots of sizes -- from 28" to 56" bust, though not every sweater has all those sizes. A little bit of texture stitch or a panel of lace adds style to the sweaters, but the shapes are simple.

The photos are glamorous, in neutral colors and natural settings. Not only is this a great book for beginning and advanced knitters, but it's the perfect gift book for a friend who wishes she could knit.

Knitters are always on the look for books with timeless patterns that are easy to knit, this title by Plum Dandi Knits hits all the right spots. Quick to knit beautiful patterns that will be used for years are featured in beautiful photography.

It is so rare to find a book of patterns that truly encompasses women of multiple sizes. The sweaters in this book go range from 31" to 55" bust in most cases. All of the patterns are easy to follow and are beautiful. Any area that is charted is also written out. The 22 patterns include hats, scarves, cowls, sweaters, leg warmers, shawls and mittens. There's a mix of everything...they even put in a beautiful blanket pattern.

There's a great, fully illustrated glossary of terms at the back of the book, too, which is convenient because then you are not searching the web mid-project to attempt to remember how to do something.
