Vampire mania shows no signs of abating, and first-time designer Miller presents a collection inspired largely by Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster Twilight series. The patterns range from literal (a child's sweater with vampire fangs) to movie inspired (a replica of Bella's mittens from the first Twilight movie) to Goth inspired (lacy capelets and scarves). There's even a small section of werewolf-inspired patterns for team-Jacob knitters. Those who aren't fans of the series may find some of the projects over-the-top, but there's still a lot to like here.
