Rustic Modern Knits: 23 Sophisticated Designs Paperback – November 28, 2014

I like the range of patterns and techniques utilized in making the items in this book. I’m sure the beginner to advanced knitter will find something exciting to make.

The knits are beautiful and creative. Probably not for beginners but for intermediate knitters.

I love this designer! I saw the Japanese Lantern shawl on display at Tempe Yarn and Fiber and had to have that pattern. After Searching Ravelry I found that it is only in this book. I promptly went to the library and checked out the book, casted on Winter Rose and 3 days later went on Amazon and bought the book. Never in my life have I wanted to knit every project in a book until now. Yumiko's patterns are easy to read and follow. She offers amazing stitch descriptions. Her website contains even more project help. I just love her. She lives here in Arizona and I hope to meet her and have her sign my book at one of my LYSs.This book is great for an advanced beginner and will interest an experienced knitter as well!

I wanted the lace Dan doh patterns

Patterns instructions are clear. And so many beautiful ones to choose from.

I am familiar with Ms. Alexander's work, having knitted one of her designs. Her patterns are so unique. This book is gorgeous. The patterns are gorgeous and I can't wait to finish some other projects and then make the difficult decision of which pattern to put at the top of my list. I cannot comment on pattern instructions at this time, although I think they read easily.

This was a gift. The girls loved this and found some patterns they would like to do.

I just got this book today and it looks as nice as I thought it would. There are a few strange patterns that I am not sure why they exist but 80% of them are items I would make and wear. I would give this book more stars if possible. Please note that they are accessories like cowls, scarves, shawls/poncho, hats, and at least one vest. No sweaters or socks.
