Kristin has inspired me to try more color. I tend to shy away from it for myself, but love the way it looks. I have a copy of color in knitting and really want to try some of the patterns with some of my hand spun. Should be fun!

I've never tried a steek before but I'm looking for just the right pattern to start with. I like that there are some smaller patterns in here I could cut my teeth on.

so scared of steeks to begin with and so appreciative of them now. Kristin's sense of color and design is superb.

Kristin Nicholas is a Classic Renaissance Artiste ~ all matter of art forms benefit from her color use, technique & style, knitting, crocheting, painting, pottery, illustrating & designing. I've taught knitting & embroidery to children for nine years & have tremendously appreciated her illustartions in Melanie Falick's “Kids Knitting” & Kristin's “Kids Embroidery.” Most definetly, I wish for her three latest books ~ they are beautiful.
also, I especially enjoy reading her blog & appreciate how often Kristin updates & the fact that you never know when she is going to update. There are only a few blogs I read daily & Kristin is one of them. Its great to check in & find another new post. Kristin writes very conversationally & I like knowing more about the sheep to wool process.
The best surprise ever was seeing her painted walls in her farmhouse. They are exquisite. Upon painting my kitchen orange, a whole new world of color opened for me. Kristin has always been an inspirational artist for me personally & I loVe sharing her with my students, who often have rather conservative art teachers, *WHY*???? I want to express to children to enjoy their artist-selves.
Kristin is a Renaissance Artiste & we need people like her to bring creativity and beauty to the world.
Sincerely,
Shell ~

Several friends are considering a knit-along from this book. The over-the-top Shawl is my first contender, I think.

Everything Kristin does, I adore. For some, “adore” is not a strong enough word. Such style.

Almost 200 comments. Oh my. That makes the statistics
against this one BUT I will say I haven't done either of the questions
and hope to one day. I adore those sweaters! If I won I would learn
to and I do knit. Extraordinary, if you've seen Larkrise to Candleford!
