50 Shades of Stitches

This book is a great reference book for any knitter. I found the unique patterns easy to follow. I believe that I will be using many of them for Christmas gifts in the future.
Marina Molo is able to describe the steps needed to create her patterns. This will be a book that I will place in my knitting library.

Margeau Chapeau: a new perspective on classic knit hats

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I have been a knitter for over 50 years. I enjoy knitting most items but am always looking for a challenge or a new pattern. Margeau Chapeau: A New Perspective on Classic Knit Hats is a great book for my needs. There are a variety of techniques such as brioche or fair isle, both of which I wanted to try. Plus there are patterns for the beginner to the intermediate level. This is a great book for those knitters who are like me and enjoy knitting new patterns or for those that enjoy knitting hats.

Each pattern is written out using knitting language that is familiar to even the beginner and the illustrations are beautiful. 

Book Review: Traditional Knitting

Oh my goodness. This book, Traditional Knitting by Michael Pearson, speaks to me on so many levels. The history lover of this book is in love as Pearson looks into the history of so many different patterns. My love of all things from Britain is satisfied as he travels to source of the patterns and talks with people about the tools and patterns that have been passed down through he generations. Finally, as I am a knitter who is always looking for ideas and patterns, this book was a fountain of useful information.

This book is highly recommended for any knitter or those that are interested in traditions passed through the generations.
