Ab Fab!

Been knitting since I was tiny but stopped for a while. I decided to take it up once again. But wanted something more challenging than scarves, scarves and more scarves!
So I bought this book hoping to find fun and challenging things to knit. And I wasn't disappointed!
My favorite item definitely has to be the ribbon cardi. Just about to start that and my hands already itch. (Sound familiar?) Of course not all the items are realistic. (Check out the sweater for two!) Still fun though.
Great patterns and funny anecdotes. (Had me chuckling as I took up my pins)
All in all a good book to refer to.
So if you're into knitting, BUY IT!

I loved this book
|
I am so pleased that I bought this - I was anti-celebrity endorsement of anything but Tracy appears to have a real love of knitting and brings her sense of humor to the subject. There are some really great patterns in this book (fantastic cardie with ribbons - that is seriously beautiful). As an American book the yarns are harder to find but can be sourced online, I prefer to substitute with some of the great yarns we have here - choosing them is half the fun of a new pattern!
I am already knitting two items from the book and have plans for a couple more - high praise from someone who normally only uses books for ideas and pinches bits of items to create something else
