This book has really nice sweaters in it, but there are errors in the book so beware!!! The sweater featured on the cover tells you to use US size 5 knitting needles which can not be true since the pattern for the sailboat sweater (page 83)uses the same type yarn and gauge but tells you to use US size 3 needles. After knitting the star sweater (cover) with the US 5 it is obvious that there is a typo. I ripped the sweater out and reknitted with the US 3. What a waste of time!
Also the star sweater and sailboat sweater have inconsistencies with the number of stitches you should have left at the neckband so you have to figure out some work around for those errors as well. I only have experience with those two patterns in the book and have found both of them to have mistakes. If you purchase this book I would recommend reading the pattern carefully so you can plan ahead. This book is not for beginners and can prove to be very frustrating.

Beware....I am on my second sweater from this book and with both sweaters there were mistakes in the instructions. It's been incredibly frustrating. I won't buy another book from Zoe Mellor.

I was leery about this book because of the very mixed reviews, and expected problems when I started the Robin Hood jacket. But I didn't find the instructions confusing at all, and the jacket turned out perfect! I have also knitted up half of the heart pattern cardigan, and again, no problems. The patterns are really cute, and it is easy to substitute different yarns and colors for the expensive name brand ones she uses (but if you are going to do the Robin Hood jacket, I do recommend trying to locate some Rowan Cork, a discontinued yarn. It is so soft and shows the cables well).

Pretty pictures, bizarre patterns...
Okay, I started with the star sweater on the cover. Nothing is knit on the round. Six months later, I have the pieces of the sweater sitting in a bag waiting to be finished. Read more
