Changing the color of the yarn and adding a pretty ribbon does not make a different pattern. I do really admire Zoe Mellor as a designer, this book was just not what I expected.
Rating: - Cute but not perfect
I disagree with the reviewers who say that this book consists of a lot of "variations on a theme." I found almost all of the booties to be surprisingly unique. Even where two shoes look similar, the tecniques are often pretty different.
The patterns are easily explained, and the booties are adorable. There's a wide range, from practical to traditional to silly. There are a few sock patterns thrown in, too. I haven't used any of her yarn recommendations, instead using yarn that ... Read More

Fun and interesting booties to knit and a great way to put to use the bits of yarn that always seem to be left over.
