And now, my review:
Knitting Modular Shawls, Wraps, and Stoles by Melissa Leapman is an inspirational knitting craft book that I enjoyed. The author has put many options in the hands of us individuals to pick and choose what we like best. I really like that versatility. Her patterns seem very extensive but well spelled out. My favorites are Design #14 and Design #20. There are 20 designs to choose from overall, but the sky is the limit on the mixing and matching that can go on with all the stitches that she offers.
I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
