100 Knits is a huge (500-plus pages) compendium of knitting patterns encompassing everything from socks to cardigans. The book is lavishly illustrated with large photographs for each pattern, and the instructions are clear and well laid out, with plenty of helpful illustrations for final assembly. The emphasis is on intricate patterns and decorative stitches. I would have preferred to see a little more diversity of yarn weights used. Although a variety of needle sizes are used, they all fall within a relatively narrow range, and it would have been nice to see more patterns using chunkier yarns. This is a beautiful book, and every knitter should be able to find at least a few tempting projects in it.
