Customer Reviews

Had to have it

Even if I never get good enough to do half the things in the book, I love flipping through looking at the pictures. It's like a recipe book for knitting with all these fantastic ingredients listed that you can combine any way you want.

Like this book

Vogue did a little better than vol 1, this book does have charts. The book is well organized. I also like that each chart or pattern having abbreviations, has the instructions for those stitch abbreviations on the same page as the swatch. (Unlike Knitters Magazine and their books which generally have these at the back of the book in the glossary section.) All three volumes in this series could be improved with the addition of a index with thumbnail pictures. Overall, I'm happy with this as a reference.

Fantastic book 2!

Vogue continues along the great tradition of providing the information one needs, and desires. Each picture is very well photographed, and detailed. The stitches show up very clearly enabling the reader to see what she wants. The stitch discription is very clear with all the information one would need to accomplish the stitch he or she wants. Wonderful presentation, awesome instructions, a book to add to any knitters library!

Must have cable collection

Even though you have several collections of cable patterns, this volume is well worth the price. It has cable patterns that I have found no where else. I'll use it a lot.

Can't say enough great things!

I've been wanting this book and Volume One in the series also, and decided to order them both. They are both excellent! I had them delivered to work and now I'm jonesing to just go home and KNIT KNIT KNIT! What I love about this book is that there's no "learn to knit" section to waste pages on...just a short forward and then on to the stitch patterns! Love love love this book!
