Knitting Book Reviews (in pictures): Boutique Knits

I was fairly convinced, from the front cover that Boutique Knits (20 must have accessories) by Laura Irwin would just be hats, scarves, gloves and bags. But although 'accessories' make up the majority of this book, there are also a couple of lovely tops and, unlike most accessories books, these really are gorgeous, boutique pieces. I love the look of the softly pleated sleeves (all it takes is a little, pretty piece of lace trim!), and the Whisky felted hat looks a lot of fun. I think the only down side is I'm really not sure about my felting skills - I'm not sure I trust my washing machine... Great for inspiration though (click pics for larger view):
