Exquisite Little Knits : Knitting with Luxurious Specialty Yarns

Rating:
Summary: Great little book!
Review: I really like the projects in this book. It contains lots of projects that are fairly quick to knit; most of the projects are scarves. Most of the yarns used are the novelty yarns that are currently popular, and many patterns offer alternate yarns to use. Although I've discovered one project calls for an elasticized ribbon yarn that is discontinued (good luck finding that!). Many great small projects made in a few hours, to fun larger projects that might take a couple of weeks. Great book for beginning to intermediate knitters.

Summary: Nice addition to my collection!
Review: I'm a 20-something knitter who likes creative projects and funky yarn. I would attempt to make most of the projects in this book. I initially purchased the book with plans to make one of the wraps, but found that it has a ton of other patterns that I can't wait to try. Great pictures, beautiful yarns, clear instructions. It is a nice addition to my collection and worth the purchase price!

Summary: Great little projects!
Review: I've always had a hard time finding projects in which I could use novelty or expensive luxury yarns. This book solves that problem! There are tons of projects for various yarns, including cashmere, ribbon, eyelash, and silk. A lot of the projects are fairly dressy, more like something you would wear on a night on the town. But they're still beautiful and fairly easy!

Summary: Luscious Lovelies
Review: The items in this exquisitely presented book are delicious. It will be a treat to use these lovely and lovingly photographed fibers to make truly special knitted treasures. I like the straighforwardness of the patterns, the way the fibers are separately photographed and the fact that many alternative yarns and combinations are suggested. I hope these prodigiously talented designer/authors have more to share with the rest of us soon.

So many lovely projects, it's hard to decide which one to start with first. This book will really inspire you to get knitting!

Summary: Absolutely gorgeous book
Review: This stunningly photographed book takes knitting to the level of haute couture, and best of all, the most challenging thing about most of the projects is simply knitting with more than one strand of fiber! Many unique textures and fibers are used, including ribbon and moire. Knit a shawl suitable for a black-tie event, a beautiful lace stole, or even an evening bag!
