Book Overview
Beginning and intermediate knitters who have little time and patience for complicated patterns, but who want to make something elegant and chic, will find just the thing in these 28 lavishly photographed sweaters. The designs are simple, but the wools are rich and sumptuous. Imagine snuggling into-and showing off-a handmade cozy white cardigan and matching scarf in a thick, chunky yarn; a black cashmere hooded design; or a buttery soft gray Merino wool cable sweater. If you love tweeds, a silk and mohair sweater in a classic crew neck is the one for you. Go graceful in a versatile ballet-neck style, while an evening out calls for a silvery sweater that makes you shine. There are lightweight spring and summer fashions, too.

This is a wonderful book. It contains several lovely sweater patterns that rely on beautiful yarn and not difficult stitches. I love to knit but I don't like spending hours grinding over complicated instructions. This book is great because the projects are basic and quick to knit up but very beautiful without any headaches and torn out work.
