 Original knitting ideas. March 15, 2006
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is not your run of the mill knitting book, it goes way beyond scarves and hats. It has very creative ideas such as knitted Christmas tree ornaments, a pair of knee high socks, ballerina-like slippers and many others. The only drawback is this book is for a somewhat experienced to advanced knitters. But for people like me who are just starting out, it gives you a goal of what you would like to do.
 Beautiful but not for true beginners March 11, 2006

I have this book, and it is a little above my skill level right now. Of course, I am just now working on my first needle-knitting project, a garter stitch scarf. I plan on trying some of these projects once my skills have improved.
Very nicely done! January 14, 2006

I love all Melanie Falick's books and especially her photography. I highly recommend buying this book, but I would suggest looking at it first in a store to see if the patterns "speak to you". As far as I know, this book isn't marketed as "for beginners", so beginners beware! There are some simple patterns here however. One other issue I have with Melanie Falick, is that there seems to be lack of a website with an errata page on it, which is disturbing for some knitters. I throughly enjoy looking at the book for inspiration, and am currently making the tree skirt, and am very happy with the pattern so far. A beautiful book for any knitter's collection!
 Is there an errata sheet? January 11, 2006

I am working Snegurochka's Party Hat on page 123. There seems to be an error in the chart. When I work (or count) row 31, I end up with 37 stitches in each of the three sections. But row 33 requires 36 stitches. Help! Has anyone else had this problem or am I losing it. I admit this is the first time I've knitted from a chart like this. In general, this is a lovely book to look at, but there are only a few designs I might try.
 Definitely not for beginners November 28, 2005

I would like to give this book more stars but what is the point of a knitting book if one cannot follow the instructions very easily. This is no better than a picture book. Look how pretty, but forget about being able to knit it. I've tried two recipes and I am ready to toss this book, and I consider myself a pretty skilled knitter. The directions seem more as if they were just copied from someone's notes, comprehensible to its author only, and not clear and explanatory enough for everybody else to understand.
Sloppily done, with really only a small handful of worthwhile recipes, if you can make any sense out of the directions.
