Book Reviews of Nicky Epstein Knitting in Tuscany

Book Review: Depends what you want
Summary: 5 Stars

Unlike most of the other reviewers (I think) I have only been knitting for three weeks. I had never heard of Nicky Epstein, and this was the first book of hers I'd ever seen. But I've got the knitting bug bad, and when I saw this book at someone's house, it was so pretty I had to have it. Many of the designs in this book have been simple enough for me to have a crack at them. I've seen other reviewers say there are mistakes in her instructions, and maybe I'm such a newbie I just haven't noticed, but I have two very lovely scarves and a couple of flowers. Not only that, but I'm inspired to knit and knit and knit until I can make all of the other beautiful stuff in this book.

Personally, I loved the travelogue. It was a bit random, yes, and I wasn't expecting a knitting book to be full of recipes and shopping trip ideas! However, I've been to every city and town she names in Tuscany, and her photos and stories made me ache to go back to all of them again. So I loved that side of the book.

Summary: if this is the worst she does, then I think I'll be buying every other book she's ever written. It's inspiring for a new knitter, it has a range of patterns, and it's 112 pages of eye candy. However, if you want a pure pattern book, this isn't it.

(PS: I think the crocheted wedding dress pattern alone is worth the price of the book. ;)

Summary of Nicky Epstein Knitting in Tuscany

From the bestselling author who brought you Knitting Over the Edge, Knitting Beyond the Edge, and many others, comes an exciting new book for knitters—this time, with an Italian accent! It?s filled with the warmth of the sun-splashed Tuscan countryside, inspired by Nicky?s knitting tour of the region.

Knitters will pour themselves a glass of Chianti, gaze at the gorgeous photographs, and work their way through a dozen fabulous Tuscan-style projects (presented with step-by-step instructions). They?ll also savor the tidbits Nicky imparts about the region and its knitters, and her travels through Italy.

It?s the perfect gift for anyone who feels amore for knitting and Italia.
