Rating:  - More than patterns
This book will make you think about knitting and yarn in a different way. I keep returning to it and always come away with a new idea or plan. The ideas for combining different yarns, overdyeing, and how to make simple ideas timeless are well worth the price of this book. You immediately look at the stash in a different way, asking how you could make a collection of fibers into something unique with Sally's helpful ideas and advice.
Rating: - Original, inventive, fun and exciting
Truely original designs and great use of multiple yarns. I have to confess to be a collector of yarns one ball at a time. This the perfect book for the adventurous knitter that wants to experiment with yarn. Not since Kaffe Fassett have I seen another truly inventive great teacher. Thank you Sally, you are appreciated, very much!

Rating: - Wonderful resource on combining colors/using up stash yarn
Of the dozen or so knitting books I've bought in the last two years, this is the book that I use the most. I'm knitting a second design and pondering several more. Still, even if you don't like the looks of the designs, this book is worth buying if you have a box or a closet or a room full of leftover yarn or yarn that just hasn't quite become a sweater. (Who us knitters, buy yarn just because? :))
There are two huge reasons to have this book if you have yarn. First, Sally provides a very thoughtful ... Read More
Rating: - Highly inventive, beautiful designs for the whole family
Melville has found a brand new technique, which is unusual in itself, since so much in knitting is just one designer copying ("adapting") another. I was glad to see someone daring to be unique. At first glance and at many glances later on, I have to say that her styles in this book are really beautiful -- and she incorporates many different techniques, many different designs, so there is bound to be something for everybody. She's also attentive to color by presenting sweater models in a variety ... Read More
