may be some info to Read.me - Usage ?

I've imported as your import... and I agree that it seems wrong.

easy way to add only compass stylsheets on project)

Please add usage instructions on the readme file. I agree it is confusing to implement.

I agree with the comments. It is not easy to understand how to configure compass-mixin.
it would be nice to have a more detailed tutorial about this plugin.
Thanks

Was having trouble too, but here's how I got it to work:

1. Install the module via npm.
2. Inside the scss file, import the module, e.g. @import "../../../../node_modules/compass-mixins/lib/compass";

or if using bower:

1. add the module as a dependency in your bower.json file like so:
   {
   "name": "imprv-workflow",
   "description": "Improved Workflow",
   "main": "build/index.html",
   "authors": [
   "Kwesi Jnr."
   ],
   "license": "MIT",
   "homepage": "",
   "ignore": [
   "**/.*",
   "node_modules",
   "bower_components",
   "test",
   "tests"
   ],
   "dependencies": {
   "compass-mixins": "~1.0.2"
   }
   }

2. Run $ bower install

3. Import it the same way as stated above but with bower_components in the path, not node_modules:
   @import "../../../../bower_components/compass-mixins/lib/compass";

I observed that using bower_components was slightly faster than node_modules.
