Great book

Great book, so many projects that I want to make
Great photos too

Glad I have it

There are quite a few patterns in this book that I would never make (the Great Garbo Hat, for example), but what I like about this book is that there are sweaters and vest patterns in it. I really admire knitted lace shawls, but I could never see myself wearing one. Sweaters and vests are definitely more my style - especially the Katherine Hepburn sweater. It's very classic. The sweater on the cover is also nice. I don't like this quite as much as Scarf Style and Wrap Style, but I'm not sorry I bought it. I also like the section in the back that shows how to correct some common errors in lace knitting.

Half and Half

This book is just like what you put in your coffee..half and half. some of the designs ,like the shawl are wonderful. Some are just silly, unless you are under 12.A worthwhile book though, like the other two in this series.Take a look at Scarves and Wraps.

Lace Style Heavy on Lace Sweaters

Interweave Knits traditionally does a great job of their "Style" books. This one left me a bit disappointed. I think it is that while I love knitting lace, I've mostly selected lace projects that are shawls, stoles or large lace scarves. This book was heavy (for my tastes) in lace sweaters, lace cardigans, etc, and not so laden with the sorts of lace garments I love. If you are a knitter who likes to knit lace sweaters, then this is a wonderful selection. If lace shawls, stoles and large lace scarves are your thing, then perhaps individual selections elsewhere would suit you better. Just my opinion.
