I should have realized that a book by Cheryl Potter would focus on her yarns -- which are stunning, but quite expensive. The book offers some beautiful designs, but does a good job of convincing you that mixing types of yarns requires a lot of experimentation and can be prone to much disappointment. Of course, they want you to use the ones that they list. But now I'm a bit wary of using the yarns I have instead of the ones they're selling. I'll probably get over this and try my own combinations, since the end results ARE very enticing! But I'll have to keep looking for a more generic discussion of how to approach mixing yarns, both from the standpoint of how they look and also how to adapt gauge, needle size, etc. -- this one doesn't do that.
