Marianne M, Reviewer
This is truly a beautiful book for all knitters. A concise introduction shows how best to knit colorwork. Loads of charts show different colorwork patterns. The book ends with several colorwork project ideas.
Love it!

I am an avid knitter and a huge fan of colourwork, this book is tremendous! I love the modern approach, and the support for making the designs your own. Andrea Ragnel has a great eye for both graphic patterns and interesting ephemera to make your knitting stand out from the rest. This is a solid addition to any knitters library. I was provided with a copy for my honest review. #indigoemployee
