Cover Up with Nicky Epstein 

Fans of intarsia and fair isle will be pleasantly surprised by this collection of afghans. I typically knit in neither style and checked out the book mostly to see what all the fuss over Epstein was about. Most of these I'd never consider knitting, be it for the color-scheme or degree of complication, or both. The Zodiac afghan, however, does give pause – it's clearly charted, and could be adapted (along with a few other designs) for use on a smaller scale, like pillows. All the designs have full color charts and schematics, so if you're looking for clear instructions for your next mammoth project, this might be the book for you.
