I promptly put Hargreaves on my Christmas wish list and also wrote "any book by this designer." I knew that I would be thrilled to get which ever book came my way. Sure enough, my mother-in-law gifted me Precious, and I'm itching to cast on any one of these gorgeous patterns.
I'll be stash diving in the new year hoping that I have just the right yarn (and amount) to cast on one of the simpler sweaters first. I have a strong suspicion that Precious will be just the first of my soon-to-expand Hargreaves' collection.
Yay! I'm so glad you got this one! It's one of my favorites - lots of classic designs. I'm currently knitting the Lauren sweater from this book!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely book. I hope to be in your place someday where I am always looking for a challenge--for now, I feel like I am still mastering the basics. Your finished projects are always so gorgeous!

I look forward to *looks at the book* 21 new FOs shared in the upcoming year :) Great gift!
ReplyDeleteI have the breeze book if you ever want to buy it let me know.
ReplyDeleteKim Hargreaves was a good recommendation. She has some very beautiful patterns.
ReplyDeleteYAY!! her books are lovely aren't they, they are sooo hard/expensive to get here I haven't managed to get my hands on any yet - can't wait to see what you knit!
ReplyDeletei'm really going to enjoy seeing you knit a Kim Hargreaves pattern. i've long been a fan, have several books, but have yet to complete one of her designs! maybe seeing your progress will be the push i need.
ReplyDeleteand btw - Happy New Year!
I've eyed her pattern books too! There is one a fellow, knitting group member had that I thought was exceptional. Lucky you! And you go!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of designs.
ReplyDeleteChristy popped out as one I could definitely imagine on my needle.
How are you going to pick one over the other to be FIRST on your needles ! ! !
Holiday hugs
I haven't seen this book. I will have to look for it. Happy sweater knitting!
