Have you ever looked out the window on a cold still winter day?  The wind is still, everything is covered in snow, and maybe off in the distance you can spot a deer nibbling on uncovered grass.  Though the weather may be frightful, the view is certainly delightful!

If you love the beauty and natural look of the winter landscape, you will love Shades of Winter: Knitting with Natural Wool.  This beautiful book is filled with lovely, lacy, feminine patterns in white, grey, and beige hues.  Made with natural wool, these patterns are perfect for looking fashionable and keeping warm this winter.

As I read through Shades of Winter, I absolutely fell in love with the “Lace Knit Gloves, Scarf, and Knee Socks” set.  This set would instantly turn a black coat from drab to fab and would be perfect for wearing on a winter walk through the woods.

If you love the simplicity and brilliance of winter hues, you will love Shades of Winter.  For knitting fans, this is the ultimate collection of light and lacy patterns that will keep you warm and fashionable all season long.
