[.ca] Vogue Knitting Accessorize: Scarves*Hats*Ponchos*Socks & ... (ISBN 1933027053)

lovely presentation - but projects are familiar:
I eagerly awaited my copy of Vogue Knitting Accessorize and was delighted at first. It feels so inviting, you just want to open it up and start dreaming of which lovely item to knit first. But the book's binding came apart at the seams, which surprised me ... I own many knitting books and this was the first one which fell apart as I was reading it. The projects are a complilation of works from Vogue Knitting magazines, many of which I already own - a fact I did not know when I pre-ordered the book. Still, there are beautiful photos of knitwear for all seasons, to inspire all levels of knitters. I do not care for the format, which has one page of instructions next to each full-colour picture, but then requires you to turn to the back of the book for the rest of the information for that project. This is an awkward presentation and I feel a book of this quality should be more user-friendly. I would recommend this book to anyone who does not have Vogue Knitting in their library. The knitwear is beautifully photographed and very tempting to make. The instructions are clear, even though I don't like flipping back and forth for each project. And this book does highlight some very eye-catching examples of the Vogue Knitting accessory collection.
