Book Reviews of The Twisted Sisters Knit Sweaters: A Knit-to-Fit Workshop (Knit to Fit Workshop)
Book Review: Great organization and great suggestions
Summary: 4 Stars
I have never knit a sweater before buying this book. This book is very well laid out and offers information in a form and layout that does not overwhelm the first time sweater knitter. I think it is also in depth enough that experienced sweater knitters will also enjoy it. The patterns are interesting and intriguing. The explanations are very clear and accessible. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is interested in sweater knitting.Book Review: Wonderful Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
The book stretches your creativity and challenges you to make something beautiful that is entirely your own. The sections of information on how to measure and determine guage, yardage, etc. are worth the price alone. I loved the side-to-side garments, but then, I loved the entire book. The colors and textures are inspiring.Book Review: Deceptive title
Summary: 2 Stars
Title is "Knit-to-fit workshop" but there is nothing in this book about custom tailoring or shaping; i.e., how to fit a handknit garment. Basically, this is a collection of pretty pictures of--IMHO--uninteresting garments on models a couple sizes too small, making them rather unattractive (the sweaters AND to a lesser extent, the models). Book Review: great for making your own style of sweaters

THis was even better than the sock book, I can't wait for the next book from them!Book Review: Handspun yarns will work!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book because sometimes it is challenging to find patterns that allow you to incorporate handspun yarn. The sweater on the cover is actually a child's sweater but the patterns could easily be incorporated into an adult sized sweater as well.
