Finalist in the About.com Reader''s Choice Awards for Best Knitting Book of 2011. "20 gorgeous patterns that are full of WIN. This book is truly worth its weight in qivuit." - Margaux Hufnagel, Tenten Knits "Lovely projects. Courtney and Kate both possess a keen eye for modern styling and fit." - Lauren Weinhold, Lolly Knitting Around "I finally got my hands on a copy and whoa, amazing it is!" - Melissa LaBarre, co-author, Hats 2.0 "Each design has roots in a vintage style or technique, and then is given a modern twist. Each piece is thus very thoughtful, and it''s interesting to read the history behind each one." - Hannah Fetig, Knitbot.com "Although I would consider most of the patterns intermediate in difficulty, it looks like any would be a good first project of the given technique." - Stephannie Tallent, Sunset Cat Designs "It''s so amazing. There are plenty of vintage patterns floating around out there. There are plenty of modern patterns...But there is a real dearth of not only lovingly-designed but effective, well-fitted patterns out there in vintage style. Kate and Courtney''s book solves this problem times one million zillion billion." - Shannon Okey, author, The Knitgrrl Guide to Professional Knitwear Design "What''s not to love about this book is what I would like to know." - Miranda Walker, Narrating Life "I really liked the designs in here. I like vintage techniques. I like the craftsmanship that evolved over centuries. I like getting to try them out, and perhaps most important, I like being able to wear them when I''m done." - Knitting Scholar "Absolutely stunning, fantastically wonderful...Kate and Courtney are two immensely talented, smart, fun and very hard working women; this book is yet another of their amazing contributions to the knitting world and I am truly in awe." - Cecily Glowik MacDonald, co-author, New England Knits "Gorgeous. The projects, the photographs, the styling. All of it, gorgeous." - Melissa Wherle, NeoKnits.com "The thing I like most about this book are the introductions to the various traditional, vintage knitting techniques that have been used throughout the years." - Wendy Bernard, author, Custom Knits "Beautifully photographed, it''s an inspiring collection of patterns." - Yarn Lounge "One major pitfall of many vintage-style knitting books is that the garments and accessories make wearers look like they''re going to a retro costume party. Kelley and Osborn, co-owners of the yarn company Kelbourne Woolens, avoid this by taking aspects of vintage style--classic tailoring, delicate details, and feminine touches--and incorporating them into garments and accessories that look contemporary. The majority of the patterns are best approached by intermediate to advanced knitters, but adventurous beginners will find exciting challenges as well. A classic, accessible collection." - Library Journal "Knitters of a certain age will take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, while the younger set will love the fresh take on classic styles and techniques. The patterns are a mix of quick accessories and challenging garments. Romantic and luxurious, all pay homage to traditional sources for inspiration, while incorporating a thoroughly modern color palette." - Knit ''n Style "I love the way Interweave has the books on their site set up so you can see the projects in them. In scrolling through some of the projects I found a few that I really liked." - Knitting "The core idea in this book of lovely designs is a contemporary twist on traditional patterns and techniques. The designs are shaped and detailed with techniques and time not usually given in modern patterns and all knit from the Fibre Company''s luxurious yarn. That''s not to say that the designs are dated and stiff, knit at a tiny gauge, no. These designers know exactly what they are, 20 gorgeous patterns that are full of WIN. This book is truly worth its weight in qivuit." – Margaux Hufnagel, Tenten Knits Lovely projects.

I haven't tried any of these patterns yet, but I'm looking forward to knitting up quite a few of them. Lots of good options, and the book's condition is excellent.
