I was disappointed with the book. I found some of the patterns to be old fashioned...and not quite retro yet. I am planning to knit the rug, but have not chosen a project from the book yet.
This is a book you should check out of yoru library before you commit. A long list of knitting stores is at the front of the book.

This book, while beautiful to look at, has many errors. The publisher's web site contains an errata and should be looked at before any of the projects are begun.
On another note, I did make the My Constant Companion bag and enjoyed it tremendously. The bag gets a lot of compliments.

I've had this book for a couple weeks now and am quite pleased with it. While I don't think there is anything unique about the patterns included there are some interesting yarn shop blurbs. A nice book to pick up and look at from time to time. Not just a pattern book.

This book is for someone looking for a variety of wonderful knitting projects. From basic children's clothing, to a Cottage Tea Cozy, to Felted Fish toys, this book has a little bit of everything. Some of the pieces are for the advanced knitter, but many are for the average knitter. There are many beautiful sweaters, including Marie Louise's Lace Sweater and a men's River Run Pullover. A good addition to my knitting library.
