I appreciated your review of the book. Very thoughtful. You highlighted the two sweaters which I most loved as well although I would like to try out just about everything in the book. I would recommend it to anyone.

Perhaps this defeats the purpose of the discussion on use of silk - but do you think that “Intoxicating” could be successfully knit with mercerised cotton (Super 10 - my addiction? - if you’re not familiar with it it is somewhere between DK and Worsted weight).

Thanks for the thorough review! I feel I’ve been burned by many new publications that were highly touted but low on content so I was not excited about the advent of this book. Now I plan to take a close look!

I really liked the book - until now I’ve knitted only in wool and wool-blends, but I think I may expand my horizons… anyone know what brand of silk yarn Porter used in her design of Intoxicating (book is at home)? The silk yarns I see on the web tend to be more muted colors….

What a great review. I really loved reading it. I already want the book, but now I really want the book. Hope I’ll find it soon.

Thank you for such a terrific review of the book! I’m a wool person too so didn’t give this book much though when it came out. That and the rather silly cover put me off too. Now I think I must get my hands on a copy!
