Reviews

  From Colleen: Kristen this is such a wonderful book! For three nights I cuddled up each night after dinner with a cup of tea, a cozy blanket and this inspiring book. I own quite a selection of knitting books so I don't purchase them anymore unless they are exceptional and this one definitely falls into that category. I think "Dreamy Pullover" has been put at the top of the queue! Bravo Kristen!

  From Jenn: I cannot tell you how excited I was to stumble upon this book yesterday. Normally, I flick through the patterns of a book and think I might knit one or two (then I groan about how infrequently you can buy individual patterns from collections or books), but this book has me wanted to knit just about all of them.

I took the plunge and bought the ebook tonight and I am not disappointed. I can t wait to complete all of my UFOs this week and get stuck into the first pattern: the Heroic vest. I m giddy with excitement at the idea of swanning around in the Sunshine pullover, but I figured I should start at the beginning.

Thank you Kristen for a detailed and well photographed book. You ve filled my entire year with projects.
