Great Inspiration
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I am a novice knitter and I love this book! As a beginner, I wouldn't have thought of some of the yarn combintations suggested in the patterns, but they are wonderful. True, the patterns are very basic (great for this beginner), it's the yarn selections that make these styles so interesting.

I'm so new to knitting but want to be able to craft nice things. Hammett's book is a big help in making novice patterns look beautiful using a variety of specialty and standard yarns. I look forward to doing more of the patterns that she shares in her book and hope to improve my craft.
truly amazing scarves

with basic kitting patterns you can make some amazing scarves and shawls. Directions are clearly written with pictures of examples in different yarns. I've made several scarves and a shawl for gifts each turn out wonderfully and were enthusiastically received. You'll never be stuck again of what do with the many differnt yarns now available.
Great Scarf with Amazing Yarns is Right!

I couldn't wait for this book to come out and it was worth the wait. A great one to add to your collection. The patterns are very easy to follow with knitting labs for certain techniques if one is not familiar with a particular stitch. The yarn used is just fabulous....but save your pennies because it can be expensive...I have substituted some of the yarn which still creates a wonderful product. I am on my second mash potato shawl using the yarns suggested, which runs approximately $90 or so by getting the yarn on Ebay...its a beautiful shawl and highly recommended to anyone who loves to wear them like I do! A great book!
Inspiring Designs

Since I already own every scarf and shawl knitting book available, I didn't expect to find anything new in this book, but WOW! Carri Hammett's new book offers fresh inspiration for luxury hand dyed yarns and gorgeous ribbons. The designs are truly beautiful, combining colors and textures in a wonderful way. I would love to knit almost every design in this book. If you are going to buy only one scarf book, this would be a great choice; and if you are a knitting bookaholic this is a worthwhile addition to your library.
