Wow. I can knit myself a wardrobe from Anthropologie.

a lot of very cute stuff in here. I especially like the daphne purse, victoria fingerless mittens, and juliet scarf. I would make them very plain though. no pinks, fuzzy yarn, or flowers.
I loved some of the designs in this book and will definitely be trying to reproduce the Victoria fingerless mittens. Beautiful, delicate patterns that really make me feel a bit like a lady of old.

The projects in this book were uninspiring. They were mostly made from mid weight yarn and not at all "luxurious" to my mind.
Most of the yarn used is unavailable now. Cute stuff, some of it, but really not things I would make.
Another book that has so many beautiful things to knit, with great instructions. I want to make so many things in this book there are a lot of nice hates and scarves and a purse(on the cover) that doesn't even look like its knitted.
Well, there are several lovely projects in this book, which is ridiculously overpriced for a paperback. However, the art direction is lovely, and many of the projects are as well. One of the models has "strong eyes" (lots of eye makeup) and virtually nothing on her mouth and I have to say that she looks like a cadaver. This is not the image I want in a knitting book. However, there's a gorgeous fair isle hat and lots of other fine things, and I'm glad I got this one. Look, Kaelie, a...more

girly romantic; all patterns in written & chart form
This is a really nice book to look through. The cover is very appealing, and the photographs inside the book are relevant and crystal clear. Very modern page layout, making it completely reader-friendly. Even though I didn't find any patterns that I wanted to knit, there was still an assortment of patterns that I thought were lovely and had a unique design. I would recommend this book.

There are some really lovely patterns here - a bit above my very beginner skills, but definitely eye candy.
There are some cute items to knit here, but most are a bit too "girly" or frilly for me. There isn't much to read, either. So overall not a book I'd consider purchasing.
This book is full of adorable projects that look like they might make great gifts. And as cute as they are, they also look fast, which is another plus for gift-knitting.
Nice book, well put together. The projects are just too... I don't know, soft and pretty.
Not really enough patterns, and only one of them is something I 'can't wait to make..
This was OK, some of the projects were pretty, but nothing I'd want to make myself.
Beautifully delicate, feminine knitting patterns for accessories.
I'm making the Cecily hat for a friend!
A delicate and beautiful book.
