I've seen a copy at Klose Knit and hope to have my own copy in hand soon.It's an absolutely gorgeous book, but I'm not completely unbiased, having a pattern ("Montague," p. 104) in it. Although it's modeled with slacks in the book, I envisioned Montague being the sort of thing you could pull over a swimsuit when the sun went down or when you stop at the store on the way back from the beach and want to look a bit more clothed. I'm very pleased with the way the photos turned out (see my own below for comparison, lol!). In fact, all the photography in the book is beautiful--clear, colorful, very evocative of sun and summer. It's great from a practical point of view, too--lots of pictures, lots of different angles, and close-ups which knitters will love.
Kristi asked all the contributors to name our patterns after a vacation spot that had a special meaning for us, which I thought was a lovely idea. Montague was named for Montague, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Michigan, where we have vacationed the last two summers and where a significant chunk of the sweater itself was knit last July.
Here's another photo, somewhat less glamorous, of the same sweater just before it got mailed off to Kristi. Don't blame my bumpy tummy on the sweater--that's my Groundhog's Day present, mid-2nd trimester.
Anyway, this was a fun knit and a great project to be involved in!
