Book Reviews of Vogue Knitting Stitchionary Volume One: Knit & Purl: The Ultimate Stitch Dictionary from the Editors of Vogue Knitting Magazine (Vogue Knitting Stitchionary Series)
Book Review: Absolutely beautiful!
Summary: 3 Stars
The most striking and alluring thing about this book is the photography, which is absolutely stunning. Each of the glossy pages has its own swatch, which is carefully knitted from Aurora worsted yarn (already in itself a beautiful yarn) and photographed so that the patterns on them are clear and easy to see. It's the clear photographs that made me choose this book over Barbara Walker's books, where you frequently don't really know how a swatch is going to turn out because there are little or no pictures.
However, it does have some problems. First of all, there are no charts for the lace patterns, and the notation for them isn't at all standardized.
My other problem with the book is that it's just too small. There aren't as many different patterns as there are in Barbara Walker's books. For someone looking for a wider variety of patterns, I'd recommend Barbara Walker, and looking up the Barbara Walker project on the web for photographs.
But this book is perfect for someone who is looking for something beautiful that will inspire them. It's also perfect for anyone looking for something that makes its patterns more accessible and easy to see in their finished form.
Summary of Vogue Knitting Stitchionary Volume One: Knit & Purl: The Ultimate Stitch Dictionary from the Editors of Vogue Knitting Magazine (Vogue Knitting Stitchionary Series)
An essential reference for knitters from novice to expert, this fully illustrated sourcebook is the first of three "stitch dictionaries," to be written by the professionals at Vogue? Knitting. Some 300 stitches are detailed, and hundreds of charts, photographs, and illustrations make it easy to understand how to construct each stitch, as well as the ways they can be used in projects. The experts at Vogue? Knitting demonstrate rib stitches such as brioche, herringbone, chevron, and quilted patterns; traveling patterns like parquet, ripple, and diamond stitches; lace, including daisy and wave patterns; and such unusual stitches as eye of lynx, bobble block, peppercorn, and bamboo. The most complete book of its kind, this is the definitive stitch reference!
