Customer Reviews

Beatutiful

I have not had an opportunity to try any of the patterns - looks like other reviewers have reported pattern errors. You should be able to contact the publisher to find out about errata. Note, that many knitting books are edited by non-knitters in a rather quick time frame - no, it doesn't make sense, but that's the publishing world. As far as the book goes - the patterns are beautiful and timeless. Hard to tell if the sweaters were from 1947 or 2007 - which is a good thing. These projects will be worn for years - so choose your colors wisely! What the book lacks in volume of patterns, is made up by beauty. I would describe the general pattern style as relaxed, simple, elegant, feminine (not frilly - no ruffles here), classic European country. The yarns you choose can greatly define the style: rustic tweeds or soft cashmere - quite versitile. Lovely

Totally cute!

I love this book! It doesn't have as many patterns as I would have liked, but the patterns are totally adorable and functional. I love the socks and gloves in this book, and I'm making the chunky jacket as soon as I find time away from school and work. Definitely a must have for any knitter!

A timeless collection

The projects in this collection are timeless and, I think, will not simply go out of style. You can always use a beautiful cardigan, classic camisole or warm gloves. The patterns do assume a basic knowledge of knitting, so you might need to have a reference book close at hand.

classic patterns

This book has a good range of patterns for women fitting up to a 107 cm bust, with finished size of 112 cm bust. They are mainly sweaters and jackets and some socks, scarves and a bag. All the patterns are classic in style with yarn used rangeing from 4 ply (fingering) to bulky. They are all Rowan yarns.
