Great book! There are a bunch of really good reasonings behind using skinny yarn in the intro, like the barbie example: when you are making clothes for a barbie, it's easy to see that skinnier yarn lets you increase and decrease in smaller steps to make something more fitted correctly to the shape. As for patterns, there are a lot of beautiful things here. I like the idea of a kimono top, but would want a shawl pin or something better to atach it. The ribby vest made out of 5 colors of Trekking XXL is such a cool concept and the colors blend so well. And the Bohus-Inspired Pullover is a very cool concept for an easier bohus without all the fair isle that normally is there. Great book, if you get a chance, check it out!
