One of my favorite things about Toni as a designer is her ability to play with color combinations that are sophisticated, on trend and timeless all at the same time.

Success!

The only negative I can say about this book is that some of the photos of the projects that were made with dark yarn are very hard to see. One of my favorite projects from the book is the Velvet Windowpane Throw. It is made with the gorgeous Bernat Velvet yarn in a beautiful plum color.
