This book is a happy book. It is an animal-filled hootenanny, where
tigers, penguins, zebra, poodles, terriers, sheep, giraffes, cats
and more cavort along side some more traditional-ish mitten motifs.
You'll find hearts, knotwork, diamonds and speckles in there, and
other fun motifs like an electric guitar. But it's the beasties
that steal the show. They are full of personality, not the usual
stiff renderings. The main motifs are surrounded by smaller
patterns and the palms and thumbs are rarely left plain—some even
boast additional motifs. This book is going to get a workout this
winter. The shape isn't tricky and the different designs are
enthralling. First up will be Mother Squirrel—the motif is a mama
and her baby. I want to send a pair to my daughter for her first
winter away at college (sniff). --www.knitty.com

that play off traditional Scandinavian designs with funky colors
