Book Reviews of Romantic Style: Knits And Crochet to Wear or Display
Book Review: Rather period, and only for a certain figure type
Summary: 3 Stars
These are great patterns if you are very thin and look like the "flappers" of the 1920's. For the most part they are very "period" (think Victoria magazine) and would not be something most of us would wear out somewhere. The dressing gown is nice, but why would you put that much money and effort into something that's going to get dirty and rather quickly ratty-looking as soon as it catches on something (which is why I don't knit socks, but that's just me)?
The shrug would be one exception, and made in a different yarn might make a nice beach cover-up. But most will have to adjust the pattern for size.
Several things that were annoying:
The aforementioned lack of size ranges
Pictures from certain angles only, and some repetitive at that; few close-ups of stitch patterns.
Could have put the pattern repeat in (for ex. multiple of 3 plus 2), so that you can use the stitch patterns for other projects--this can often make the book more attractive as a purchase to knitters who aren't models.
Instead of the empty space and extra pictures, would rather have had written instructions for the lace patterns as well as the charts--not everyone likes charts.
The diagrams of the finished garments were confusing and did not have all of the measurements they needed.
Check this out of the library before buying.
