Review: I really love this book. There are only about four patterns that I wouldn't consider knitting which makes this very good value. I have had the book just over three weeks and have already knitted the first pattern in the book for a friend. ( I am going to repeat it in another colourway for me.) I found the chart very clear and easy to follow. The fit was exactly as stated in pattern.
Review: Tanis Gray has edited a knitting book that contains wonderful designs and patterns for the knitter. According to the introduction, " Using our bodies as a foundation, we can create beautiful, effortless designs with elements borrowed from architecture." "We need our knitwear to be able to move with the push and pull of our bodies. Construction can be the difference between a garment and a garment with purpose." The very first pattern, King's College pullover, designed by Mari Muinonen is a work of art. It contains a cabled yoke and is a pullover in a lovely dark golden/orange hue. Its name is taken from the King's College Chapel. The Sagrada Familia Cardigan, designed by Cirilia Rose, has "dropped and wrapped stitches, bobbles, vertical and horizontal elements that accentuate the form by cinching in the waist, garter and stockinette stitch." It is just lovely and is knit in a worsted weight yarn in a deep rose colorway. One of my favorites, and the cover design, is the Opera House Shell, designed by Suvi Simola. It is a sleeveless pullover shell in two colors. "Cleverly placed short rows and waist shaping create a gentle, curving structure, and a unique curved bottom edge form by hugging the wearer's hips." The bodice is knit in a lace pattern. The colorway is a deep cinnamon with a yellow/orange accent. The Arts and Crafts Cardigan is worked from the bottom up and is designed by Amy Christoffers. It utilizes "reverse stockinette stitch and cabled lace" and evokes the Arts and Crafts movement. It is knit in an a coral colorway and I can't wait to knit this pattern. The Mucha Cardign is designed by Glenna Harris and is "knit in pieces, seamed together, then topped with a short row collar" inspiring an art nouveau kimono style. "The combination of textural stitches, cables, and a draped style offers both contemporary versatility and classic comfort." The Byzantine Pullover, designed by Tanis Lavalee, evokes to me an ode to Icelandic knitting. It is "knit in the round from the top down and.... is a work of art not unlike the Byzantine mosaics that inspired it. Knit in a traditional stranded technique with five colors, the Fair Isle pattern is based on mosaics." The colors are offset by the main color of beige. This book contains several sweaters, mittens, hats, wraps, shawls, a dress and accessories. Primarily it contains cardigans and pullovers. The patterns are beautiful and tasteful, many of which I'd choose to knit. As with most knitting books I review, I ask myself three questions: Will I knit the patterns? Are the patterns easy to read? Is this book a good resource. The answer to all three questions is 'yes'. I recommend this book for intermediate and advanced knitters. It is filled with glorious patterns.

The looks of the patterns are awesome but I haven't made anything yet. The pattern on the cover is a must do.
