I've wanted this book for a very long time and when I finally got it I was not disappointed. Sure, the patterns are simple, but that is what is so great about them! This book gives people who like to experiment with different colors and yarns a base to come back to. You can take almost any yarn you want and any size person and make something fun! As a knitter who loves to design patterns and play, I am very happy with the results of the things I have made using these patterns. Highly recommended!
