Cozy Knits by Sue Flanders; Janine Kosel
Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
This was a beautiful collection of patterns.
On “technical merit,” the patterns are well-written, include charts and written instructions, and result in beautiful knits that look very refined. The book provides in depth discussion of the tools, techniques and yarns used, while also providing resources for yarn substitutions (a big help for knitters everywhere!). The only note I would offer to readers is that this book is not for beginning knitters. The patterns do assume you have a basic knowledge of colorwork, stitches and techniques. While I love that the designers are here to help you jump in the deep end, be prepared to get out your life-vest if you are new to knitting.On “artistic impression” this book is so well laid out, and beautifully illustrated that it is a delight to read even if you never knit a stitch. The featured items are so gorgeous and well-photographed they definitely count as “knitting p@rn.”
This book would be a great addition to any knitter’s library.

What a fun review. My mother taught me to knit when I was a child, and I never really took to it. I don't have good hand/eye coordination, so I think that's the issue.
