The book had the pattern I have been searching for for years- an authentic Gansey. Plus a real surprise-- a wimple! I was unsuccessful with web searches but lo and behold this book had two variations of this elegant,classy accessory. There are many more 'wish and wants' that I hope to make before my knitting days are over.

Such a great resource of inspiration and great stories. I first read it from the library and then had to have my own copy for keeps!

Melanie Falick takes us on an amazing tour of some of the most influential people and places involved in American knitting. Melanie's wonderful profiles of knitwear designers, spinners, dyers, and breeders of fiber-producing animals and plants are accompanied by Chris Hartlove's spectacular photography. The photos are in natural settings, natural lighting and of natural people - mainly the designers themselves or their family and friends.The patterns go from slightly challenging to extremely challenging. But they will be worth the time and effort spent making them -- they are either so classic that they will never go out of style or so artful that they transcend fashion trends. They are mainly for women, but some are unisex and a few are for children. They are also mainly sweaters, but there are a couple shawls and handful of mittens.The lives and accomplishments of those profiled are truly inspiring. You will want to knit, spin, dye, design, or even raise some sheep!

At first glance this is a terrific book. It features American knitters from all over the country -- very fun to see pictures of some of the designers and learn about them. There are also about 40 designs, some classic and some that are pretty out there. The photography is divine.Unfortunately, this book hasn't stood the test of time well for me. I tend to prefer knitting books that I refer to over and over again. This book lacks the quality of being a good reference for either technique or designing. I doubt that I look at more than once every six months.Bottom line -- if you can find a copy for a good price, a nice second tier addition to a knitting library. But if the budget is tight, there are many equally beautiful and much more useful books on the market.
