“Wow. Beautiful projects...pretty, pretty.” – Austin American Statesman

“Charming and beautiful.” – KnittingScholar.com

“The designs are wonderfully feminine and light feeling, not the heavy, thick yarned sweaters sometimes associated with these regions. It has a fresh quality.” – Knitty.com
“Lucinda Guy's “Northern Knits” is a gorgeous collection of designs, all inspired by the knitting traditions of a particular corner of the Western Hemisphere that is almost as famous as Lucinda Guy is among knitters for a particularly charming take on the knitted garment. It's a natural combination, and the result is a book that will most likely tempt you to make a few things.” – Twist Collective Blog
