Beautiful layout and finish - especially like the textured fabric cover. The patterns are beautifully photographed and the patterns seem to be detailed.

Other than the dark pages

it is a crazy fabulous book with lots of exciting projects to knit. And yes I could knit all 12 items and probably will.

CONS

None

Rustic

Show more cons

Size medium - not for Big projekts

I'm not real tall and could have used more holes on the strap for when I wear it.

Yarn snags on zips

slight opening at the top

A little pricey.

Tiny cover lettering.

Would be perfect if lined

thin rope drawstring closure and leather strap

A bit scritchier than I was expecting

The gift box is a bit flimsy.

Long shipping time

nothing to keep it rolled up

Upper edge has to be folded back while working (as shown) because of the metal zip.

Ciparosseuser

not big enough for crochet hook

olive green is brilliant

I little too much variation in colour for me

it pools a little

but overall so beautiful

but overall so beautiful

No longer available.

yarn tends to catch a bit on my circus

not as stretchy as all wool.

No nose wire.

I haven’t given 5 stars as I was given replacement needles rather than the knit pro ones as described. I have other knit pro needles and find the ones I was given not as nice to knit with especially because they don’t have pointy ends!

Bit stiff at first

Nope. Too many gorgeous colours to choose from?

You want more of it?

None.

Pricey but worth it

None

none

I think there is no Ravelry code

I hate the dark brown pages with the small black writing like the abbreviations page as I can't read it in most lights. The page is to dark for the size and closeness of lettering to read easily

none

None

Very tightly spun

not tried yet

None

I want to knit them all!

Tendency to break but very easy to join with wet splicing. Just have to not yank the yarn from its plate.

None

No Cons

May need more than one skein for socks

N. A.

Bit pricey for a magazine

Colour of main yarn - pale browny pink is not my palate

I am an autumnal palate person.

with mustard and green small skeins in set absolutely fine.

None

No downsides

colour on gorse not very "clean"

ie. the marled with darker fibre.

None

none so far

Quite advanced for me. Not familiar with some terms. A challenge!

None

Metal tape is not flexible and lack of locking mechanism together make measuring garment fit hard

Quite pricey

none

Strands tend to separate at times

Some packaging non biodegradable

Yarn twists perhaps this is because I'm left handed!!

Can split when you need to rip back

None

Non

None

So lovely I bought more skeins in different colours!

None

A bit expensive
