Book Reviews of So Simple Knits
Book Review: Not So Simple Knits!
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a beginning knitter, and was expecting some very simple patterns without the increasing and decreasing, cable stitches, button holes and many of the other techniques called for by the patterns in this book. What Ms Mackin considered beginner level projects I would consider at least intermediate. Most of the patterns are for sweaters and coats, although there are a couple of patterns for poncho-type garments that seem to be fairly simple. The photographs are lovely and the garments are ones I would wear, but the book will be put away until I have more knitting experience.
Summary of So Simple Knits
So Simple Knits is the perfect book for beginner and younger knitters who want stylish, contemporary designs to practice their new craft. The simple stitches and use of fat needles create amazingly quick-knitted pieces. Using chenille, worsted, alpaca, mohair, chunky, tape, and textured yarns, the 24 projects include popular ponchos and scarves as well as smart boleros, cuddly wraps, hooded cardigans, and accessories like hats and mittens. Full-color photography and illustrations supplement the step-by-step instructions, while helpful techniques guide the novice through each project. These fabulous designs combined with the latest popular yarns make So Simple Knits an ideal collection for readers looking to make an old craft new again.
