I own both Celebrity Scarves 1 & 2 and I'm having fun with both of them. I'm just a beginner so the fact that there are a lot of garter stitch scarves is fine with me. Knitting is very addictive and these books make it even more so! I find it incredibly relaxing...very yoga like...and you can make the easy projects while you're watching a movie too. I suspect it will take me awhile before I advance to sweaters so I see a lot of scarves in my future! They're also great gifts! I've made scarves for my Mom, for friends, for some of the staff at one of my doctor's offices, for the UPS guy....once you start, you can't stop! Unfortunately, I do have expensive taste in yarn...I lean toward cashmere! If you have a beginning knitter that you need to buy a gift for, these books are perfect. You could even pick out the yarn needed for one of the beginning projects, along with the needles, etc and you'll have a gift that is a huge hit! Enjoy!

This book has some pretty interesting paterns for scarves made by celebrities. This book also has some bio information on the people who made the scarves, and proceeds go to benefit a great cause. A lot of the yarns featured are not easily found locally, so substitutions may be required. All in all, I would recommend this book.

Bought for a friend who was just getting into knitting scarves... They loved the book....
