Drop-Dead Easy Knits by Gale Zucker


Drop-Dead Easy Knits by Gale Zucker, Mary Lou Egan, and Kirsten Kapur. Clarkson Potter Publishers, 2016.
From socks to cardigans, from shawls to scarves and hats, this title provides gorgeous full-color photographs and clearly written instructions. The difficulty levels are called Relaxed, Mindless, and Attentive, ratings of concentration required. But, the title is most unfortunate since these are NOT patterns generally for beginners! Beautiful, yes, but some require circular needles and most require knowledge of both knitting and purling.  Easy, not exactly, but if you can already knit and want more of a challenge than basic scarves or simple dishcloths, this may be the book for you.  I received this book from Blogging for Books for this honest review.
