Beautiful cables for everyone

Cable, cable, cable! This book is mostly sweaters, with a few notable exceptions. There is a cute hat and bag set ("Tova" on p. 50-52) and a skirt and shoulder set ("Fulla" on p. 68-70) for which man could die. For the less adventurous and less experienced knitter (i.e. me), there are two projects to try: a pillow ('Firunga' on p. 110-112) that cleverly integrates i-cord, and a long vest ('Osk' on p .40-42) that provides enough coverage for the fullest, roundest tushie. (Again, that would be for me.) There's also a lot of personal research by the author on the history of knotting, so even non-knitters will find something of interest. I was very impressed with this book and will definitely be checking out the author's previous work.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
