New England Knits: Timeless Knitwear with a Modern Twist

New England Knits is full of 25 beautiful patterns—I love every single one—that are ideal for Fall, Winter, and Spring in the cooler areas of the world. There's a good variety: some sweaters, some cowls, some hats, a bag, a pair of mittens etc. They're all original and unique, and very inspiring. I can look at them and think of my own version or variation, either by changing the colors, adding a pocket, sewing on beads, etc. and creating my own look as well.

Again, I loved every single one. I've started one of them (Whale Watch Hat! It's really cute) and I can't wait to make some of the others.

Recommendation: The patterns are easy enough to read and understand for the intermediate/advanced knitter, which is the skill group it's written for. I'd say make sure you can read a pattern and use double pointed needles before trying any of these patterns. Summer is nearly half way over! Pick up your knitting needles and start on your Fall and Winter sweaters now!

This book was Ok, To be fair there are plenty of books out there with these sorts of patterns in and nothing in it made me say "I must buy it"
Its ideal for the beginner and they've used some nice modern fabrics but it won't appear in my bookcase.

clear patterns with lots of pictures (0 more)
Quirky
Well these are not your traditional idea of toys.

Some are frankly a bit odd looking. When looking though the book I sometimes thought "That looks like someone has made a toy pattern from a kids picture." They are often quite weird looking, and yet strangely appealing.

If you like slightly odd toys... this is definitely the book for you.

The patterns themselves are clearly written, with lots of colourful pictures and full colour charts where needed.

So far I have made a black Rill Raccoon as my 10 yr old fell in love with the idea of a Ninja raccoon... and I will be making a LOT more
