Sarah Burnett's sophisticated patterns are simpler then they look, well within the grasp of even novice knitters. And each design uses Burnett's vibrant n atural color spectrum, achievable in any kitchen (with common natural dye-stuffs) but not in mass-produced yarns. 130 full-color photos; 38 color diagrams; 20 patterns.
I wanted to rate this 4 and 1/2 stars. This book is worth buying for the dye instructions alone. The patterns are also very nice, although they are rather theatrical (think Russian dance) and would look better on taller people. She has many motifs that would work well for afghans or knitted bedspreads or smaller projects such as hats or scarves. If you already dye yarn with drink mix, this book could inspire you onward and upward.
