Summary: Wonderful projects, but instructions can be confusing
Review: While I love the book and think that the patterns are beautiful, one of the ones that I have sat down to actually knit required some modifications. Perhaps something got lost in the translation? Knitting terms do vary between the US and England. I had one big issue and one small issue:1) When knitting the silk booties, I had to keep ripping out my yarn, because the book gives instructions to increase at the end of each alternate row for the sole. Now, to me, "alternate" row means "every other", and following those instructions meant that the sole was becoming VERY large, with increases only at one end. In the picture, it is clear that the sole is relatively narrow, with increases at both ends. When I took it all out and increased at the end of each row, my knitting matched the picture. 2) When knitting a couple of the projects (silk booties, garter stitch wrap top) that give instructions about the number of rows to knit, I originally thought that the instructions were wrong and gave double the needed rows. Turns out that I am just not used to doing a lot of garter stitch knitting, and counted the rows incorrectly. My mistake! I would recommend this book for knitters who have the experience and confidence to modify patterns as needed, whether it is to match pictures in the book or fit babies that you know. The projects really are very charming!
