I was a little disappointed with this book -- I thought it was going to be a bit more informative than it was. Instead, I didn't really learn anything that I didn't already know. The patterns, while fine, weren't really for me. The essays from various people in the knitting community were nice, though.
So many things I'd love to make in this book, especially the skirts! There are creative home accessories to make as well, like a soap nut bag,
structured tote, and cute slippers.
But what's really interesting is the discussion of eco-friendly yarns at the beginning. It's a good, quick reference.

I enjoyed this book for the discussion about moving towards greener more sustainable approach to knitting - recognizing it is not a simple all or nothing discussion that has many nuances. some interesting projects to go back to
I read this book again for the third time this holiday and drooled once again over the patterns. I think that I need to update my rating.
Less information than Knit Green. It has knitting projects and intermixed guest pieces. One person said they didn't vaccinate their sheep.

There are a ton of cute projects in this book, well written, charts as needed. Some cables, some lace, some basic, some more complex. The yarns used are all "green" yarns, like Eco Wool (yarn is neither dyed nor chemically processed) or Schulana Sojabama (bamboo & soya, a fiber from soybeans, that is similar to silk in feel).
There's smaller projects, like Sustainable Bamboo Scarf & Soap Nut Vessels (a little bag to throw your soap nuts into). There's wearables, like Organic Sprout tank, which uses Classic Elite Sprout yarn (organic cotton), or the classically styled All (North) American Hoodie, using St Denis Nordique wool yarn (a yarn grown, harvested, processed, & distributed all in North America).
