Book Reviews of Twinkle's Weekend Knits: 20 Fast Designs for Fun Getaways
Book Review: Totally creative
Summary: 4 Stars
This is such a break with the traditional k1,p1 sweater and yet it's not orbiting Mars. I haven't made anything from the book, but am dying to do that short, shaw-collared jacket which chock full of style. Probably some other cuties in there too after I get started. Also these projects don't take years to finish - thank heavens - as I don't have years of spare time!
Summary of Twinkle's Weekend Knits: 20 Fast Designs for Fun Getaways
Following her first book, Twinkle?s Big City Knits, Wenlan Chia brings devotees and new fans more fabulous Twinkle designs to create at home (at a fraction of the price you?d pay for them in stores like Barneys, Saks, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale?s). Known for transforming bold, chunky yarns into delicate, body-shaping pieces, Wenlan Chia again shares her signature style; this time in 20 inspired patterns that are perfect for weekend knitting and for wearing any time.Start the weekend with Friday night out with friends as you Twinkle through the night. The Nightfall Cropped Top is knit with lush silk and cotton yarn, while the Wisteria Scarf creates drama with its cascading clusters of blossom stitches.
Saturday is the day for fun?hiking, shopping, or just going for a stroll. Capture this feeling with the lively, sporty fashions in the Fun Alfresco chapter, including the Oceania Sweater, a vintage-inspired pullover with a built-in iPod pocket, or the Snowdrop Hat & Peony Scarf, the perfect set for a day on the slopes.
Take a moment to recharge on Sunday, the last night away, with more relaxed, simple knits. From the Meridian Tunic Dress, perfect with jeans and sandals, to the Cloudburst Cardigan, a ruffled knit that easily slips on over a dress, the patterns in this chapter are casual and comfortable.
For those starting their very first sweater to experienced knitters looking for new tips and techniques to enhance designs they?ve already mastered, this beautifully illustrated book offers many weekends? worth of knitting pleasure and fabulous, one-of-a-kind Twinkle wares.
