Some pretty projects. Nothing tempting me.

My main reason for purchasing this book was for the butterfly dress - if you search online, you will discover many knitting blogs devoted to this dress.
The other patterns, including patterns for home decor, clothing, jewelery and other accessories- are beautiful as well. The clothing patterns are based on classical items, meaning that they won't quickly fade out of style, but with a delicate and lacy twist.

There are quite a few very lovely patterns in this book that I hope one day to knit myself. I have already almost finished a re-sized (and modified to be knit in the round) version of the Buttoned Bag. I particularly like the incorporation of beads and buttons into these patterns.

Got this for the dress on the cover. So pretty. And all the FO's on Ravelry tempted me... mm, pretty lace. (Butterfly dress=lameo name) If I can actually finish it... you'll read about here.

Who doesn't love Rowan - the yarn, the photography, the enthusiam that results in a floor-length hand-knitted house coat?

Very few patterns for only crochet, only the "Little Extras." All others were primarily knitted with a crochet edging, if that.
