Book Reviews of Fitted Knits: 25 Designs for the Fashionable Knitter
Book Review: Pleased with my new gift
Summary: 4 Stars
I was given this book for my birthday and have enjoyed it. Looking through it I have seven projects ear-marked. I have selected the short sleeved cardigan with ribbing as my first project from the book and also as my first sweater I've ever knitted. I've been working on it for about four days now, and am almost finished the body and getting ready to work on the arms. I am pleased with the pattern as well as the results.
One thing I have to say about this book is that I am often at odds with the yarn used and/or required for the projects. Many of the patterns call for bulky weight so I just change it to whatever I want, sometimes successful other times not.
This book has great information regarding fit and flatter and also a section on how to fit your knits.
I am very pleased with this gift, had I not been given it, I'd have purchased it myself.
