Some of the patters would be great for special events but I can't imagine my active 3 year old niece wearing it.<br /><br />Honestly once you get the basics down nothing is too complicated, you just get faster doing it over time really and have to consult less reference works! Then again I have a tendency to see something I want to knit and throw myself at it and hope it all works out in the end. Sometimes there's too much ripping involved in that!Deirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262189115116664320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406425999113108559.post-19850381137157163042013-07-10T03:31:45.758+01:002013-07-10T03:31:45.758+01:00I'm just reviewing this book for my blog now, ...I'm just reviewing this book for my blog now, and I agree with you and all the comments here. The photos are beautiful and many of the ideas are lovely, but they're definitely not practical everyday wear. I found the "high fashion" photos made the clothes seem even less practical for an active child. <br /><br />Either way, it's a bit too advanced for me. I'm still just a step up from being a beginner knitter (or maybe I'm still a beginner really) and this wasn't quite user friendly enough for my level.Beatnik Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10452820877029354490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406425999113108559.post-11201429932876391782013-04-22T14:13:34.209+01:002013-04-22T14:13:34.209+01:00I bought this book without seeing it in the flesh,...I bought this book without seeing it in the flesh, and while they are beautiful, they are mostly impractical (handwash only delicate yarns and my daughter do not mix!) but lovely.<br /><br /> I tried to knit the Bertha Shoulder Wrap but was thrown by the multiple yo's then purl 15 togethers. I thought I was going to have a stroke trying to purl 15st together, but even using a crochet hook it all went a bit wrong. I intend to try again though, as the wrap is gorgeous and the Millais yarn is nice.rachaelkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430650727983767154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406425999113108559.post-25873366718186527432012-04-25T20:41:37.889+01:002012-04-25T20:41:37.889+01:00Thanks for that info, I've changed the UK Amaz...Thanks for that info, I've changed the UK Amazon Link to Labour of Love to reflect this.
