 Not For Me! June 9, 2008
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
I have long been a big fan of Nicky Epsteins, but this book was just not for me! If you enjoy felting and like bulkier scarves you will probably enjoy this book immensely, because this is basically the kind of book it is. However, I am not a fan of felting (partially because when I grew up, felt was a cheap cardboard-like fabric that you purchased to make costumes, etc) Also, as an advanced knitter, I take great pride in what I knit and don't want my stitchwork to be obliterated by being "matted together". Of course, everyone has the right to their own taste. I just wanted to let it be known that this is a felting book for the most part. Most of the scarves that are not felted, while nice, have
appeared in other publications.
Of all the Nicky Epstein books, this is the only one that I haven't been pleased with. (Note: I didn't purchase the "Never Felt Better" book, for obvious reasons).
I still remain a fan of Nicky Epstein's books!
 Disappointed June 6, 2008

I have all of Nick Epstein's books and I love her sense of design and use of color. This book had a lot of patterns found in earlier works and magazines. In my opinion, I found many of the styles to be just plain ugly. Many of the designs looked big and clunky on the models and I know I won't make them. I thought the scarf knitted in mohair and felted with hazel nuts the prettiest, but it was in her newest felting book. So for me, this book was a disappointment. That said, Nicky is a wonderful and creative designer and I will definitely be looking forward to her next project.
