My best friend got me this book for my birthday, and it is such a delicious treat. I've been a fan of Nikol Lohr for ages, and Literary Knits does not disappoint. There are so many patterns I'm dying to try (Meme Shawl, Jane Erye Shawl, Tess Fingerless Gloves...the list goes on). The instructions are easy to follow and I love the way she treats yarn recommendations, by offering yarn weight and brand, as well as ply and loft, for best results. There are even pictures of the yarn used for each project so you can see how smooth, fuzzy, or nubby the yarn is and gauge your substitutions accordingly.

I'll update after I've knit a couple of patterns, but I have no doubt this book will be in my library for years to come. ( )
