I got this book for Christmas, and it's one of the few knitting books I have that I actually sat down and read cover to cover. Along with some really awesome patterns, it has TONS of information and discussion between the authors about the green lifestyle in general. This book actually caused me to

add more books about green living to my "to read list." The only reason I give it 4 stars is because there are a couple of really awesome patterns, but to me the rest are just kind of mediocre. I really like the idea behind this book though.
