This is one of the best knitting books I have purchased in the past year &#8211; the patterns are wonderful and all the pieces are unique and beautiful. <\/p>\n<p>I had trouble with counting my CO stitches and kept ending up with too many or too few. After taking it apart 4 times I&#8217;m finally on the right track! The bamboo cotton blend is Southwick by Valley Yarns &#8211; it&#8217;s nice and &#8220;bouncy,&#8221; really nice to work with and the subtle sheen is lovely. I&#8217;m about 3\/4 through the bodice now and will be separating the sleeves soon. The diamond pattern is really easy as I got the hang of it too.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to work the bodice longer so it&#8217;s something more wearable for me. I love how it looked in the book, hopefully it will look just as nice with a longer bodice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m currently working on the Bamboo Diamond Shell from Boutique Knits by Laura Irwin.
