"Intermediate and advanced knitters will enjoy making these heirloom items. Working on these projects should take knitters to a higher skill level." --Library Journal "What I like about First Frost is that it's a good mix of different knitting traditions. From the Ganseys of the Jersey Islands to Estonian lace, from Nordic reindeer to Icelandic jackets, this book has a pretty wide range of choices for styles, traditions and textures." --My Central Jersey's "In Stitches" Column "Lucinda Guy has a talent for incorporating elements from folk art traditions into her knitwear designs, and her latest book blends Northern European styles with modern shapes." --The Knitter
