Nicky Epstein is an extraordinary designer of knit goods. Even if some of her styles are a bit outlandish for your taste (not many dogs would embrace the Hat Scarf and the Serious Skull Cap is a little unnerving), you have got to appreciate the artistry that goes into them. The photographs and directions in this book, as in others by her, are very helpful.

Chapters include projects for men, women, children, pets and charitable organizations. My favorite item of all in the book is her pattern for an infant-sized Reversible Hoodie. I don't even have a baby to knit for, but I'm going to make it anyway, it's that cute! And after that...there's the Diamond Rib Wrap for me. Can't wait to cast on.

Well I love all the hats for babies to adults really. Angels for girls and Travelin Man for the boys. Fun to do. Almost all the hats are tempting me. But I have only knit the flower (Travel tag) from this book yet. The shawls and wraps are on my list to do.I have several other books of Nicky's and have had to do corrections so I am wondering how this one will go.
The heart shawl is ridiculous and the Love Bag is way outdated..my opinion..
I would suggest people seriously look thru this book. Consider it for several options.

Another great book of projects to get your motivation rejuvenated. I'm working on my first project out of this book and I find the directions challenging to follow. So I would have to rate this for people who are more experienced knitters. I'm still glad I bought it as I have a great local yarn shop that is more than willing to help figure things out.
