This is the best knitting pattern book I have seen in a long time. The multiple color choices, the clear directions, the broad range of sizes (many up to 3X!) and the variations on the patterns add up to WOW! I always check out knitting books from my library first, so I can go through and decide if
Thank you, Jane Slicer-Smith!

I haven't knitted a project from this book but wow! The photography is wonderful (thank you Alexis) and the projects are amazing. I plan to tackle the cover sweater first.
