Book Reviews of Not Your Mama's Knitting: The Cool and Creative Way to Pick Up Sticks (Not Your Mama's Craft Books)

Book Review: A Pretty cool book......
Summary: 4 Stars

This book has some nice patterns and includes an area in the middle of the book with pictures of the completed projects. I like this -- it helps you see what a pattern looks like and if you would want to spend the time knitting it. What I really like is how she rates each project with a fun rating system -- Flirtation (quick and easy), Summer Fling (requires a bit more time) or Love 'o your Life (you'll need to put a lot of work into it). She also give you variations on each pattern so you have the ability to make it unique and your own. I look forward to making some fun items.
