This book is described as “a scrapbook of stories, essays and memories that celebrates knitting and knitting heritage,” and it does a fine job of it. It’s pleasant and easy on the eyes, and a reminder of all the different things that make knitters knit. Creativity. Therapy. Relaxation. Necessity. It’s all in there. Kind of like just about any knitting circle you can think of.

So, I was prepared to feel lukewarm about this one, all for the sake of that cover sweater.
Well, what a pleasant surprise. Out of the seventeen projects, there are fully seven sweaters and three accessory patterns that I would consider making, and four or five of them I really want to make. (Ironically, the cover sweater isn’t one of them. Go figure.)
