1.0 out of 5 stars Not for traditional knitters, December 14, 2006

I thought this might be fun, but was severely disappointed in the quality of the projects. I give it high marks for creativity, but I'm not sure why anyone would want a knitted thong. The patterns have been submitted by knitters from all over, who are being published unpaid, so I also commend them for their generosity. The problem is that being able to knit without a pattern doesn't really mean one is a "designer." There's a bizarre Christmas stocking where the foot isn't even as wide as the leg, several sock patterns with no resemblance to a human foot whatsoever, and just very novice designs in general. Several of the patterns extend 2 days, so there aren't even 365 patterns. I'm returning mine.

My enthusiasm is second-hand-crafted, but I can tell you that my wife loves this calendar.
She was a little wary when I gave it to her, because she has the excellent perpetual stich patterns calendar and others with stitching patterns rather than projects on each date. Those are great in themselves, but she really wasn't up for another one.
This calendar has project patterns and not only a large number for traditional sweater making, but also a sizeable collection of diverse and unusual items to broaden the repertoire and suggest gift items for many occasions.
The color is exciting, photos are outstanding and the instructions are fine even a few challenges, and the dates are accurate!
Just to pick a nit, there are fewer than 365 patterns since a couple of complex instruction sets required the space of consecutive dates.
That said, let's put the thought behind us. This publication makes HER happy, and that makes me happy.

Although there are some projects I would never knit in a million years, there are also plenty of great ideas for intermediate knitters. There are many patterns for scarves, hats, socks, bags, and items that will help you use up your yarn stash. I like to have at least one small project going to give me a break from a larger project, and this calendar has more than enough ideas. (I had the 2006 calendar and saved over half the patterns for myself, giving the others away.) The page size makes them easy to take along in a project bag. Photos are in full color and charts are clear.
