This book is so beautifully presented it should be marketed as a coffee table book. The patterns are really beautiful and very usable around the home. I really enjoyed making some of the items, and the patterns were easy to follow. The wool recommended was very expensive, but I managed to interchange with little problem. I would recommend this book.

I checked this out from the library and now have put it in my wish list. I am surprised by the poor reviews, but I could see myself knitting up several of the projects in here. Not really complicated, and some quite easy. Modern projects, not outdated. Go figure........ I am glad I went and checked out the book.

I usually like Debbie Bliss books, but this one, even with its nice photography, falls a bit flat. The two sweater patterns are very nice, but the rest of the patterns are rather dull and of the "why should I knit this by hand with expensive yarn when I can buy something already made up that looks close enough for much less money" variety.

Borrow from your library first, before buying.

I love any book that Debbie Bliss comes out with. Thank you for having this book available.

Because I don't think it should cost more than 10$. Very few worthwile designs out of the 27. The two women's jackets are nice, maybe the cabled slippers, the seaside throw is nice but you don't really need a book for this one, you need a good dictionary of stitches and you can make your own throw. But I have too many knitting books; perhaps it would be good for a beginner.

I have many of Debbie's books but this is my least favorite. There is nothing in it I care to make. I was very disappointed.
