Four mini workshops with 24 patterns and spectacular photography in this compilation help knitters think creatively, find inspiration in their surroundings, and shape those elements into garment design. Stunning patterns are arranged by season, reflecting the colors and beauty of nature that inspire feminine designs. From an amber-beaded cardigan that captures the feeling of hay fields drying in the sun to a long, belted coat with a spray of coral roses inspired by flowers in local markets to an intarsia jacket that evokes memories of a fall hike in a forest, each pattern is rich with color, detailing, and romantic knitting style. The design workshops throughout this guidebook challenge knitters to find inspiration in their surroundings, build color palettes, swatch creatively through knitting and sketching, and finesse their style and fit.

BUY IT NOW!!! -
a WONDERFUL book. I want to knit almost every sweater, really! Usually I can only find 2 or 3 sweaters in a book that I really like--oh my goodness, I like almost each one. I just started the winter wonderland coat--a challenge, but a FUN challenge and a well-written pattern. Each sweater has a delightful story with it that will make you look at the sweater differently after you read the story. Beg, buy, or steal it from a fellow knitter!

Win - Win All Around -
Have you ever picked up a knitting book and said "Ooh, I like that, and that, and that.."? For me, this is one of those books. You start flipping through it and are instantly captivated by the wealth of lovely designs. Many of these are admittedly on the more romantic side, but not too sickeningly sweet.
What you'll find inside this book are feminine styles that will weather the seasons, the theme on which this book is written, very well. There is very little here that I wouldn't have worn five years ago and that I wouldn't wear five years from now. And when you consider how long a book might sit on your shelf before a pattern inside it works it's way onto your needles, this is a very valuable feature.
The pattern range is very reasonable, I'm a 2-3X top depending on the manufacturer and I fit into the high range of most patterns here just barely. I wish the sizing went up just a tad bit higher, maybe into the low 50's vs. 48 or 49. What's commendable about the book is that many of the styles WOULD look flattering on a plus size woman.
I would be remiss if I didn't talk about the inspiration part of the book. The workshops help you think like a designer and really give you some insight into how you might fire up your own creativity, whether with these patterns or any others. I like how the little sketches that go with each pattern show you how the pattern started, but it may not have ended up looking quite like the finished product. Several times I've looked at the sketch and thought, 'ooh, I'd do it that way instead if it were me!'
Lastly, I'd like to add that at my knitting group the book had a huddle of women looking over it ooohing and aahing. Sure sign of a winner!
Not for everyone - 
I bought this based primarily on the multi-starred reviews and now I feel compelled to contribute a dissenting opinion. These styles are, for me, very romantic, traditional, hyperfeminine, a bit countrified, you get the idea. Not bad necessarily, but not for everyone. If you like the edgier, more modern, more urban styles, keep looking.
Beautiful Illustrations -
This is a lovely book, with wonderful patterns inside. I have yet to make anything for it, so I couldn't (fairly) give it a 5 since the directions may be confusing. Many of the patterns appear very challenging, so perhaps not for the newbie or faint-at-heart knitter.
