"This book is a great collection of wearable garments and accessories – the Eco Vest and the All-(North) American Hoodie are two of my favorites. The sweaters in this book are great layering pieces for weather that hasn’t made up its mind, and there are some great quick-to-knit basic accessories (like the Green Grocery Bag) to break things up a bit. I also like the included essays by knitwear designers and other personalities on sustainable (and responsible) knitting and fiber selection." Alison Backus, Knit Picks Director
