Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: This book was one BIG disappointment! All it really is, is a bunch of name dropping, who she knows, who she has knit for, etc. Out of the 30 designs, I might make 6. If you are going to spend money on a knitting book, get the Yarn Girls Guide to simple knits!

Summary: simple ideas for all level knitters
Review: What a treat, A simple easy to follow book with beautiful photography throughout. If you're an experienced knitter these quick non-challenging patterns will be a breeze. minimalist at its best. Beginners will be eager to try the more advanced patterns without hesitation. The book is nicely written. I suggest other knitting books for new knitters who want the basics on how to knit, S. Cousins is a continental knitter and her instructions in the beginning show it.

Summary: Fun Book
Review: While this is a fun book for anyone to read, I have to say I wish it had more patterns. Many of the patterns although cute, aren't exactly practical. I did like some of the sweaters, however two of them are almost exactly alike. I don't think I'll knit a cell phone cover, or water bottle holder, but it was interesting to see that people actually have done that. I think I would have liked this book a lot better if it gave more of a variety of patterns. But it was fun to read and see how the rich and famous like to knit.
