I just bought Alterknits (w/ a 50% off coupon from Michaels, score!) and I know its been out for awhile but I wasn't sure I wanted to buy it. I have One Skein and its so cute - I made a few things and they all turned out beautifully. When I am lookng for a knitting project, I want something I can't buy in a store. I don't want to look silly, just unique. Leigh's designs are just that for me and are simple to understand. Connie
