Great idea.; great results.
I am a new knitter in the last year, and I love this little box. The format is so easy to use, and the cards are so professionally boxed. The sweaters are just right for me. For example, the classic shell is just that -- classic -- and classy. Easy maybe, yes, but sharp. Bound to get compliments; I did! I'm new to cabling, but the braided shell was a great way to start. Again, I get compliments ...

Even I can do it!
I am fairly new to knitting and am intimidated by knitting books -- usually I have to "see" how to do it rather than "read" how to do it, but this book really makes it easy. Each scarf has its own laminated card with a beautiful color picture on the front and everything laid out on the flip side -- materials, gauge, edge, and instructions. There's a separate, handy "Abbreviations" card that makes ...

More Melissa Patterns!
I first off have to say that I'm a touch in awe of Melissa Mathay. She used to own a shop in Manhattan and I went in almost every day to see what she was wearing. Somehow she was able to knit up a new top or accessory at the touch of her needles. She is an awesome pattern maker; as I think that the beauty of the yarn comes first with her. That said, you can be sure that any pattern in any ...
