Plum Dandi Knits by Alicia Plummer and Melissa Schaschwary

Plum Dandi Knits: Simple Designs for Luxury Yarns by [Plummer, Alicia, Schaschwary, Melissa]
Here is the book summary:
Polished knits. Plush yarns. Perfect match.

Sometimes nature's most beautiful details are the perfect inspiration for creating simple yet luxurious knits. In Plum Dandi Knits, Alicia Plummer and Melissa Schaschwary--designers, friends, and leaders of the much-love Plum Dandi group on Ravelry--bring you 23 projects that reflect and react to the natural world with a sumptuous twist of plush fibers, feminine accents, and stylish comfort.

Lace that mimics soft forest foliage or the numerous tassels of a pine tree. Textured patterns that call to mind a babbling brook or waterfall. Thick wool shawls and sweaters knit in anticipation of blustery cold days ahead. The uncomplicated pieces in this collection, knit in soft, luxe yarns, are soothing complements to slowing down and settling into peaceful moments. Wherever you seek stillness and calm, Plum Dandi Knits will help take you there.

And now, my review:
Plum Dandi Knits is a great knitting book that puts 23 projects in one book.  You can knit big projects or maybe your time space is limited and a small project is interesting to you.  All I had to do was pick a project, gather my necessary supplies and go for it.  The patterns are straightforward and easy to follow.  My favorites are named Lyndon and Bethel.  Lyndon is a sock, and I love making socks so I was really excited to find this inside the book.  And Bethel is a headband which my daughters love to make different kinds of those and so now we have another pattern for those. 

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
