    Praise for this book

    "Finnish designer Lumi Karmitsa has only been knitting for five years. You certainly can't tell from the intricate designs she creates for mittens and socks. Apparently, no one told her that colorwork wasn't for beginning knitters, and that's quite a good thing. The designs in this book are a riot of flowers, animals, symbols, and even a spiritual leader or two. The colors are bright and exciting, and the charts are big enough to knit from the book. The colorwork is mostly two colors per row, but a few have three, and the gauge ranges from 5.5 to 8 stitches to an inch. My only disappointment is that all of the patterns are written for only one size. But I am certainly willing to change needles sizes or do some math to partake in the imagination this book has in it. What other books could you find patterns for Buddha, a Staffordshire puppy, a skully Santa, kitties, aliens, and genius rose sock with a double-layered lace toe? This book is a celebration of knitting creativity." --knitty.com (Wild Mittens and Unruly Socks)

    "Stranded knitting is most often used to produce repeating patterns around an entire garment, as in traditional Fair Isle or Nordic-style knitting. In Wild Mittens & Unruly Socks 3, Lumi Karmitsa uses stranded knitting to make pictures instead ... [and] there's not much in knitting that I find more motivating than watching a picture grow beneath my needles."--Yarn Geeks
