Wow - this book came as a real pleasant surprise. I am a very experienced knitter, who does not spin at all. I received it as a gift and expected the ho-hum. I kept thinking - poo, not another book I'll never use since I mostly design my own patterns. I figured it would contain a bunch of tiny projects - boring scarfs and hats because few people have sufficient quantities of handspun to make larger projects.

Instead the book contains a number of lovely sweaters, many intricately cabled, each one knit in both a commercially spun yarn and a handspun. And the author provides a careful description to help you notice the differences in texture, etc between the two.

I actually loved many of the patterns, and really enjoyed learning something new. I had very little experience with handspun yarn, and now I have a far better understanding of what makes it so special in terms of the garments you can produce.
