This projects and the photographs of the projects in this book are just beautiful. I think the book is quite aptly named "Heirloom Knits", because they truly are. The patterns are clearly written and shouldn't cause any undue stress for the experienced knitter. There are numerous projects for the novice as well. All the projects are just lovely and anyone should be able to find a project to work on that will be a treasure in the family for years and years.
