"MacDonald and LaBarre, authors of New England Knits (2009) and the e-book Wool Book One , have put together a book of original hat-pattern designs and instructions. The size of the projects allows for 'near instant gratification' and makes for portable opportunities to try out new techniques and yarns. Of course, they make great gifts, too. The book includes 25 patterns by 19 designers, and the authors. The hats are cute, clever, fun, fashionable—all with texture, character, and whimsy. Almost all of the projects are four pages, with instructions, tips, and techniques, and featuring multiple photos of the hats modeled by men and women. Projects are not assigned skill levels, perhaps because they are 'weekend' projects. The table of contents lists the designer and has small pictures of each project for easy reference. Knitting techniques with illustrations follow the projects. Dusty autumn pastel page backgrounds help increase page browsability." — Lani Smith, Booklist "When I first saw this book I thought -'Hooray, New England Hats!', but no, it's not a book of hat designs by New England Knits authors, Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre. The authors do contribute two patterns each to this book, and it turns out, they are just as good at picking folks to design hats as they are at designing them themselves. This book has 25 hat designs by 19 different designers. Texture, colorwork, lace – whatever you most love to knit or have wanted to dabble in, you'll find it here. I have a deep-rooted fear of Fair Isle, but Gudrun Johnson's Hued Toque is calling me. There are hats for men and women, and hats that would suit both. Hats that are more decorative and hats that are cozy warm. The variety of design is huge, and if like me, you're a little bit tired of chunky everything, not one of these hats is knit out of chunky or bulky yarn – Hooray!" - Jillian Moreno, Knitty.com, "MacDonald and LaBarre, authors of New England Knits (2009) and the e-book Wool Book One , have put together a book of original hat-pattern designs and instructions.

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!

    While the hat on the cover is gorgeous, I found the other items to be lacking. I don't see it as a must-have for most knitters. If the price is low enough to merit buying it just for the cover hat pattern, I would say to buy it anyway. That being said though, I have problems following lace patterns and ended up ripping the hat on the cover apart twice. I don't consider this particular pattern one that a novice could follow easily. Novice knitters should be able to use the patterns inside the book more easily than the one shown on the cover. While the cover one is fascinating in design, the open lace would tend to make it less warm than closely knit items. It's more for looks than warmth. That being said, the look is truly intriguing.
