This book is gorgeous - the photography is great, and the author explains the patterns and techniques in very clear terms. This book definitely made me want to run out and buy tons of colorful yarn, and most importantly, try new things. Maybe even (gasp!) intarsia!
Wow! If you want to get real ambitious with your knitting, this is the book for you. Great pics - great patterns to try. Lots of ideas here, nice discussion of color (sooooo! important).
Excellent discussion of color theory and choosing colors--something I know little about and am not good at. Good, clear, color photographs, good instructions.
I wasn't big on color knitting until I took a class from Margaret and bought her book. Now, I'm loving using up my stash by combining yards. Fun, fun, fun!
This is an essential reference for anyone interested in knitting in/with color. All kinds of techniques. Lots of color theory. Highly recommended.
Great guide to color!
