"Clever twists on time-honoured designs make these patterns special."--The Knitter (UK)
"The title says "gifts", but who says you can't gift yourself? These little projects are also great teaching and learning tools with a variety of knitting levels and techniques. The patterns are of that earthy modern style that Ann Budd and Interweave have come to characterize."--Knitty.com
"It's the first knitted gift book to catch my eye in a long time. These projects are classy-they may be whimsical when appropriate, but they're often also subdued and elegant, practical and pretty. They'll stand up tall against any store-bought gift, fitting examples of the full potential of knitted gifts. And best of all, the projects are as knittable as they are attractive. The patterns are well-edited and easy to follow, the photography shows you quite clearly what you're doing, the layout is inviting, and the overall execution is clean and flawless."-Clara Parkes, editor, Knitter’s Review
