Update: This is finished too:
I WILL have my own pictures at some point!
So, I did this in two strands of a chunky cashmere, and my gauge was way out. Instead of something with a foot of ease, mine is almost body-hugging. Happy accident, it looks totally gorgeous. Oh, I made the neck lower, I thought the original would make me feel imprisoned.

BOTTOM LINE: Another strong pattern book from Interweave, with really gorgeous designs, well-planned format for the book, good (if a mite chi-chi) pix of the patterns, AND most of the stitches are shown precisely how-to within the patterns as well as charted.
While nothing absolutely screamed at me Make Me Now!!!*, there were many very beautiful designs that looked to be rather interesting to make up, and I enjoyed looking through this book very much. A few of the patterns were what I ...more

Amazing designs, almost extravagently so. A lot of great description about the why's behind the choices.
This book is beautiful, but I was not inspired to knit any of the patterns.
Beautiful patterns, though not very practical.
I was surprised, I didn't think that this volume would inspire me, but it has: the photos, the drawings, the layout, the short essays. Oh and the knits. They surprised me. It's rare that I like the majority of a patterns anywhere. I don't want to knit every pattern but I do want to change and modify and find more time to knit. I was looking for a creative boost and I think this is the type of book to do it time and time again. I hope to one day give it a permanent space on my bookshelf.
Orne is a genius. I loved the design workshops in the book. They were well explained and after reading this book I felt like maybe I could actually design a sweater on my own. I felt like eventually I might even be able to come up with designs almost as beautiful as hers. I especially love the idea of mood boards.
Knitting porn, but it made me feel how far away I was from the objects of desire ... I'm sticking with blankets and scarves.
It wasn't that bad, just mostly not my style of knits and too advance for my minimal knitting skills
Lovely women's sweaters - too difficult for me.
