Glam Knits by Stefanie Japel (2008, Paperback)

Not only the pattern designs, but also the extremely helpful technique tips are great for the intermediate to expert knitter. I don't know if this book is for a beginning knitter; however, you need to learn by doing and what better than the great hooded sweater, shruggy cardigan and gorgeous lace blouses and that rectangle number with sleeves and buttons, like a cardi, shawl, shrug, it great lace which takes up very little yarn. I super loved her Fitted Knits, and have made 3 styles from that book but this book also making me search my stash, online, LYS and of course, ebay, for the next great project, probably the hooded sweater but cut off at the waist.

This is the kind of knitting book you pick up when you have knitted ALL the hats socks and afphgans you can stand. It is full of patterns for you. Fun things to knit and wear and enjoy just for yourself.
