Customer Reviews

How many sweaters can one girl wear?

WOW! This book is FULL of beautiful sweaters - I want to make every one. Some are pretty complex - so it's not a book for beginners. But I love a challenge - and the results have been gorgeous! And super thanks to the publisher for letting me look before I bought - that's so helpful!

Lovely sweaters, but many errors

I've knit three sweaters from this book and found errors in each pattern. This book would be very frustrating for a novice knitter to attempt to follow. More experienced knitters will probably be able to spot errors and correct for them. The sweater designs are nice though, some simple and some not so simple. The variety of designs is great too- from cardigans, to pullovers, and from cables to multi-color knitting. If you like classic sweaters there are bound to be a few in here that strike your fancy.

reprint of Knitting the New Classics

This book is a reprint of Knitting the New Classics with a different cover illustration & a different title. The original hardcover book was very nice with some interesting patterns, not great but very good. Why the change in title & cover picture? It seems to be the thing to do these days.

Classic Elite's Newest Edition

I just wnat to say that KNITTING TODAY'S CLASSICS is a must have book. Aside from the beautiful and colorful patterns, this book has a very "user friendly" approach to knitting. The instructions are easy to follow, pattern sizes are detailed throughout and, there is something for every knitter's taste. Aran, Fair isle and Intarsia. A "must have" addition for one's knitting library!
