Average Customer Ratings:
Four mini workshops with 24 patterns and spectacular photography in this compilation help knitters think creatively, find inspiration in their surroundings, and shape those elements into garment design. Stunning patterns are arranged by season, reflecting the colors and beauty of nature that inspire feminine designs. From an amber-beaded cardigan that captures the feeling of hay fields drying in the sun to a long, belted coat with a spray of coral roses inspired by flowers in local markets to an intarsia jacket that evokes memories of a fall hike in a forest, each pattern is rich with color, detailing, and romantic knitting style. The design workshops throughout this guidebook challenge knitters to find inspiration in their surroundings, build color palettes, swatch creatively through knitting and sketching, and finesse their style and fit.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Excellent Book -
Beautiful patterns, but also instruction how to work with the yarn/pattern, not against it. I am very pleased with this book. Some of the items are well above my skill set, but I plan to work my way up to them!

Brilliant! -
Now this book lives up to it's title, not only a visual treat, but you want to cast on to several of the projects at once.
Wonderful book -
Even if you are new to knitting, this book should be in your "knitting library". It is well-written, really fun to read, and has unique projects that aren't the same old thing. I highly recommend it.
Do you feel the lure of the cardigan on the cover? Then read this - 
I bought the book for one single reason: The beautiful cardigan on the cover. I do not regret my purchase but want to point out that the zipper does not look so good where it meets the collar, almost like an afterthought. Also, the cabled part of the sleeve is sown to the upper sleeve in a way which makes the sleeve sag just a little bit. Neither of these issues is visible on the cover page given how the model poses, but it's obvious from the photographs inside the book.
Ah, well...it should be possible to improve both zipper and sleeve joints with a little bit of thought and effort. I WILL have this cardigan ;-)
I also thought the design workshop was on the thin side (only 8 pages). Other than that, it's a great book. I concur with most of the five star raters on these pages. Some beautiful and unusual designs, clear instructions, nice pictures, nice quality paper, inspiring, and so on. If you like romantic knits, I certainly recommend this book.
If you prefer more subtle, classy knits, I recommend "custom knits" by Wendy Bernard instead. This book also contains more information about the technical aspects of making one's own designs.

I was obsessed to knit...... -
There's sizing for all knitwits in this book. I just finished the Winter Wonderland coat and it is absolutely beautiful.....I collect great books with innovative designs generally but if your looking for classic designs with modern flare this is the book for you. The patterns have wonderful shapes that have inspired me to exchange the intarsia pattern in one of the designs for a solid color pallette that I plan to enhance with some whimsical embroidery and beading as my next project.
The design workshop information and the designer tips are very helpful. The book is well written and set up by "Seasonal Inspiration" and you just might find yourself knitting all year long.
You will love this book!
