This delightful knitting book by a young designer is one of the most organized pattern books I have ever seen. There are three groups of projects, each highlighting a special knitting technique: wrapped stitches, knitted lace, and beaded knitting. Within each group, projects proceed in order of increasing complexity/difficulty.
Although the lovely photographs make me want to make everything, I have chosen one project from each chapter to begin with. From the wrapped stitches group, I plan to make the Prolix Mitts. From the lace chapter, I've chosen the Juego Cowl. From the beaded group, I hope to knit the Laden Fauxbius wrap--an ambitious combination of beads, lace and cables!
Because of the organization, great illustrated instructions, and variety of projects, I can recommend this book to knitters of all skill levels.
I received a free review copy of Knockout Knits by Laura Nelkin from the publisher, Random House.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review
