This is one of my favorite books because the designs of the sweaters are so unique. There are several kimono style sweaters that you won't find anywhere else. Yes, the colors are bold, but you can change that. This book is out of print and worthwhile to add to your library if you can find it online. ( )

"Two Sticks and a String" is beautifully illustrated but for knitters looking for classic patterns, this isn't the book of choice. The garments are bulky and made of glaring colors. You don't want to be seen knitting them, let alone wearing them. There are *two* decent patterns (Aran Pullover on p. 31 and Aran Cardigan on p. 37), but I'd say even they demand some modifications. If you can get a hold of a copy from the librabry, do take the book home and browse it through. It can be used as a source of inspiration but I'd recommend against *buying* it. (And it's pricey.) ( )
