It has very modern and young patterns, and a LOT of dresses. I will never, ever knit or wear a knit dress, my body just isn't up to that kind of fashion.<br /><br />There are no techniques really, just patterns.<br /><br />Cookie A's book is marvelous and visually beautiful. The patterns are very well presented. You will really like it.Susanhttp://www.susinok.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932317.post-18364796442859656272010-12-15T23:23:32.354-05:002010-12-15T23:23:32.354-05:00I picked up Cookie's newest book, and it is lo...I picked up Cookie's newest book, and it is lovely.
