Book Reviews of Knit 2 Together: Patterns and Stories for Serious Knitting Fun
Book Review: gorgeous patterns, small range of sizes
Summary: 4 Stars
I want to live Mel Clark's world, a world where Tracey Ullman is a "celebrity" and where women come no bigger than a 40" chest.
Some patterns are so gorgeous; The Rowena Cardigan, Gym Slip Dress, and Tropical Garden Vest are my absolute favorites. But the sizing is limited and I'm not skilled enough that I can re-write a fair isle pattern.
It's disappointing that an experienced knitter and yarn store owner can't be bothered to adjust her patterns to fit anything other than the "one size" of 36" as in the case of the Tropical Garden Vest.
There are things I wouldn't be caught dead wearing (grown up bonnet or sea anemone bag anyone? YECH!) but overall, the book has beautiful color photographs and some really nice designs that those small enough to wear will look great in.
p.s. to the person who was disappointed Tracey Ullman didn't actually "design" any patterns: be grateful! Lest you want a whole patten book full of gaudy Koigu dreads?!?!
Summary of Knit 2 Together: Patterns and Stories for Serious Knitting Fun
Tracey Ullman has been known for almost 20 years as an award-winning comedian, actress, writer, and producer, well-loved for her eccentric and iconoclastic humor. She is also an avid knitter, and she brings the same freewheeling spirit to her most recent production, a book she created with knitwear designer and yarn-shop owner Mel Clark. Although she has been knitting since the age of four, Ullman was, she says ?helpless to make anything other than long, holey scarves? until she met Clark, who taught her how to follow a pattern and knit for real.Passionate and funny, serious and spirited, Knit 2 Together features lively lessons for beginners and more than 30 original designs for knitters of all abilities and stripes?from witches britches and house slippers to a saucy apron and a table skirt. Complete with sidebars and vibrant color photographs, the book also relates Ullman?s personal stories and reflections on her life in knitting. This one-of-a-kind brainchild of two perfectly matched creators?one a master of knitting, the other a master of wit?is sure to delight veteran and novice alike.
