I was so excited to get this book and knit something cute for my new puppy - unfortunately, there are only a couple of knitting projects in this book (and none of them are "cute"). This is a sewing/knitting book. Most of the projects combine sewing and knitting - but they aren't projects for which you'd need a pattern. I don't sew that well, but I can certainly sew squares of material and knitted squares together. A lot of the projects also use felt, which I'm not crazy about.

Overall, I was really disappointed!

This book has sweet and unique designs which combine several crafting/needlework techniques - sewing, crochet, knit, embroidery...I love that it uses different textures, combines knit with fabric and that the projects are indeed simple. The patchwork blanket is one which I plan to use often to make dog blankets to donate to dog sheters - it will help me to use up my yarn AND fabric scraps and will make very pretty blankets that come together quickly.
