Knitting Editorial Review

Inca Knits is a beautiful knitting book with designs inspired by South American traditions. It provides a lot of information about Peru, traditional tapestries, and knits from that country, as well as different knitting techniques and helpful notes throughout the book. The book contains so many beautiful patterns, such as things to make for men, women, and children. However, the patterns are complex and intimidating for even experienced knitters. The styles are comfortable and wearable, and the colors are dazzling. Despite some patterns using discontinued yarn colors, this is a great book for those who enjoy knitting sweaters, especially those inspired by South American traditions.
