This review is from: Fun & Funky Knitting: 30 Projects for an Exciting New Look (Paperback)

This book just contains patterns for accessories, but they all look good. They include bags, socks, gloves, hats, belts, necklaces, and flowers. The yarns are all Rowan yarns, which can be easily substitued with 8 ply and 4 ply yarns (American terms fingering and sport weight). A small number of items use bulky yarn.

This book looked great on the outside, but the items inside were not as interesting to me as the hat was. But, I guess that is a chance you take when you order site unseen.
