"Spectacular. I doubt I'll be accused of exaggeration when I say that each project is more gorgeous than the last, and all of them are marvelous." -Carol Sulcoski, author,Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarns, "Any book on color that kicks off with a dedication thanking, among others, color-wheel masters like Kaffe Fassett, Brandon Mably and Koigu's Landra clan is off to a good start." -- Yarn Market News "When someone of this reputation finally publishes her first solo book, it's cause for anticipation and maybe a bit of angst over whether such high standards can be maintained. Have no fear, Kathy fans: her superior design abilities shine in this stunning book." -- Crochet Insider "Spectacular.

Merrick has created a book that veterans and novice stitchers will keep at their immediate beck and call." -Booklist,starred review, "It is clear that color wizards Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably now have a successor, and a very worthy one at that. Majoring in crochet, designer Merrick has created a book that veterans and novice stitchers will keep at their immediate beck and call, boasting exquisite patterns, subtle colors, precise directions (in symbols and in words), color photographs that encourage trial and experimentation and tips, and techniques that result in professional garments. Most important is her espousal of color, color everywhere; in the first chapter, the author thankfully avoids the timeworn color wheel, instead suggesting selecting then combining different colors of embroidery floss to understand how the hues blend and contrast (an exercise that also saves serious dollars on unwanted yarn). Chapters are organized sequentially, in order of color complexity, starting with one or two shades, progressing to stripes and color blocks, and ending with color adventures. The 17 projects are amazingly seductive; how to choose between a Milanese style pleated hat or a tropical stripe wrap or a Joseph-like coat of color blocks? And after even a preliminary glance, who could argue with Merrick's autobiographical introduction: 'I am a color junkie and a magpie'?" — Barbara Jacobs, Booklist, starred review "Any book on color that kicks off with a dedication thanking, among others, color-wheel masters like Kaffe Fassett, Brandon Mably and Koigu's Landra clan is off to a good start." — Yarn Market News "When someone of this reputation finally publishes her first solo book, it's cause for anticipation and maybe a bit of angst over whether such high standards can be maintained.
