Hi there,
I love knitting books and I also have Loop d Loop. It’s a beautiful book but I haven’t knitted very much from it (just a hat). It seems more inspiritational than practical to me. Have you knitted any of the patterns? If so I’d love to see them.

No,i have not knitted anything yet,i want to do the green jumper later on.when i have done it i will post a picture.
I think the cabled riding jacket is fantastic but it seems such a major project to take on (and also really expensive) that I doubt I’ll ever get around to kntting it. Still, it’s great to have lovely books to leaf through - even if I don’t knit from them.

I have to agree there,my hubby said will you knit anything from it,i said i might,i normally buy them and never knit from half of them,but they are there just in case.
Oh yes, I agree completely. I’ve just bought 2 more knitting books, Knitting Classic Style by Veronik Avery and Knit Knit, a collection of profiles of designers with a pattern from each. I may get around to giving a little mini review of them once I’ve had a better look - maybe!
Hi Karenknits,
Just had a quick squizz at your blog, you’ve done some lovely work. Your socks are great and I love the pink cardigan. It all looks great and good luck with future projects, especially your socks!

I love gardening too so love browsing through this book on those dark winter nights! I did make a chair throw by knitting squares to look like little fields from an ariel view, using greens, browns and golds and concentrating on making each square using a textured stitch to suggest ploughed field ridges etc. knitting and gardening in one package - heaven!
You can browse it on Amazon.
I am spoiled as I work in a library so get to see soooo many lovely knitting and sewing books and do often put in ‘biased’ stock suggestions, not that they are always picked for stock!!
