Summary: Small book, many ideas
Comment: Not for people who buy books by the pound. But lots
of ideas and techniques for the $. I never made it
through a potholder project. The first potholder
grew into a preschooler sweater that is much worn and loved.

Summary: Domino Disappointment
Comment: Unfortunately I have to say I was rather disappointed with this book. As an avid knitter of all styles, when I saw this I was intrigued and excited as I thought I had stumbled across something new. However when I got the book and eagerly opened its pages, I found nothing more than techniques I had been using for the last 15 or so years. Yes, they were presented in lovely format, and yes, the garment ideas are beautiful, and yes, for someone just discovering this sort of knitting I can see how they would be amazing. Having made numerous bedspreads and other items in this manner previously myself -- just calling them 'patchwork' [I guess I am just old....] -- I found nothing particularly new or inspiring here.
If you are fairly new to the craft of knitting then this book will teach you many things. It is a very easy book to digest, with beautiful full color illustrations of the finished items and clear drawings of techniques, so that a knitter of nearly any skill level could follow the patterns. However if you are an experienced knitter and well versed with stitch patterns and techniques such as entrelac, then I fear like me you too might find this book a shade disappointing.

Summary: Good Designs
Comment: I liked this book better than the Horst Schulz book--Domino Knitting's projects stand up on their own without relying on fancy (read: expensive) yarns. The Amazon price is a more realistic one, considering the size of the book.
