Book Reviews of Fitted Knits: 25 Projects for the Fashionable Knitter
Book Review: Lovely patterns, BUT...
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, I love the patterns in this book. There are at least five must-haves in here, and another five I may get to if/when I have time. The designer's all-raglan-all-the-time aesthetic didn't especially bother me, although she may want to consider branching out a bit with her next effort.
The down side -- and the reason the book didn't get more stars from me -- is that there are mistakes in this book. Loads of mistakes. Like, over two pages of errata listed at Stefanie Japel's website. By all means, buy this book, BUT then bop right on over [...] and download the errata list.
In short, this is a fun book that I'll use a lot, but I think it went to press a bit too quickly. Give the technical editor time to work his/her magic!
