    <body><![CDATA[I have a heterosexual girl crush on Stephanie Japel.  So does everyone else who reads her website or knits her designs, because she's smart and cool and good looking and nice.<br/><br/>I was so happy for her when I heard she got a book - she deserved it.  She deserves to write another book!  These...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4335863">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[You know how you look at all those knitting magazines, and you think how it's amazing that you can spend so much time on something and it can turn out so hideous. The patterns in this book are actually really cute, and there's a really great explanation of how to fit patterns to your measurements.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24550400">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Main complaint is that she doesn't ever say what weight of yarn to use (if she does, please correct me on this because I'd love to know). Instead, you have to either look up her yarn choice on the internet, which is fine until the day that yarn is discontinued, or you have to guess based on the need...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11200191">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love knitting books that are more than just 'here is a pattern.  Follow it.'  This book encourages you to alter the pattern to fit you and only you.  And, it shows you how.  It also gives great insight on how to design your own patterns and alter other patterns besides just the ones in this book. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31719129">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Just started my first project, but so far I'm really impressed.  Well written patterns, fashionable but classic (so it won't be out of style by the time you've knitted it.)  Also, I want to make/wear EVERYTHING in there.  Also, she avoids seaming - most of the projects are knit in the round - woot!]]></body>
