Book Reviews of Cable Confidence: A Guide to Textured Knitting
Book Review: LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I have been knitting since I was a teen and am always looking for good patterns and good books. All the patterns in this book are beautiful with cable combinations that are visually striking, unique, and clever while still creating sweaters that have a "classic" look. I think this book can be enjoyed by new and experienced knitters alike. The pattern directions are much easier to follow and clearer than many printed patterns as the author at times "breaks out" separate directions for separate sizes, as opposed to the conventional technique of separating different size directions by parentheses. The author has a very helpful section on reading cable charts that will be useful for the beginner as well as a good refresher for more seasoned knitters. I picked up some valuable tips from it. I buy a lot of knitting books and patterns. This is my favorite buy of at least the past couple of years if not more. I can hardly wait to begin some of the sweaters in it. If you like the sweater shown on the cover, I think you will like the book as the the cover sweater is a good representation of the kinds of projects and the "look" of the designs that you will find inside.
