This is the most ridiculous knitting book I've ever read. I'm always on the prowl for creative, unique, and interesting items to knit but this is just silly. Almost half the items are just for show fake items like a fake cake, fake jelly roll, fake ham sandwich. Hunh? The things that are more practical sometimes ehave a silly side (fried egg earmuffs) that could be fun for some. But mostly just look ill-fitting and ugly (a bra that is way too big for the model and provides no support, a shapeless shrug/sweater thing made from gauge swatches.) Don't waste your time on this one. There are much more fun books out there to read and knit from (stitch & bitch comes to mind).
