Book Reviews of Knitwear

Book Review: Disappointed with Sasha Kagan's new book
Summary: 3 Stars

Because I loved the previous Sasha Kagan knitting books I bought, I ordered "Knitwear" too. I'm disappointed in
1) The quality of the photographs in this book - you cannot see details clearly and the colours are bland. In her other books you can get a really good idea of what the finished product will look like.
2) There's not much new in the intarsia flower patterns - they seem to be copies of previous efforts with a bit of cabling and/or lace thrown in.
3) Her sizing has taken a backward step after the roomy patterns in "Country Inspiration". These patterns seem to stop at 40" Finished Garment Size. Not one for the Ampleknitter - unless you want to use the charts on your own basic pattern.

Summary of Knitwear

Popular knitwear designer Sasha Kagan (Crochet Inspiration) presents a collection of 22 classic designs for the discerning woman of fashion. A wardrobe of magnificent cardigans, jackets, coats, tops, sweaters, wraps, and scarves showcases Sasha's signature use of pattern, color, and texture. The result: a very wearable group of timeless pieces for the style-savvy knitter (who has intermediate to advanced skills) to enjoy making and wearing. For a cool day on the beach or water, choose a pullover sweater with bright boats sailing across a sea-blue background. Or show off a sleeveless pink crop top, sprinkled with pretty flowers, small ruffles, and an under the bust tie. And the pompom-edged scarf is simply irresistible. Every item is a showstopper!
