The Knitting Experience Book 1: the Knit Stitch
Sally Melville I'm back with this one. The designs are deceptively simple, and the more I look through it, the more of them I want to knit! US shoppers click here: The Knitting Experience Book 1 
Jean Frost Jackets The more I read through this book, the better it becomes. Of the 21 patterns for jackets and shaped cardigans, there are none I would not want to own - even with my 40" hips. Even the two lacy ones are really elegant. The shaping is the key to a tailored look, and this combined with the textures and colour patterns (slip stitches, not fairisle or intarsia) makes a superb look. These jackets have sharp stying and are classy enough to stand the test of time. Stash won't do for my first one of these - I'm going to have to splash out.
