Book Reviews of Vogue Knitting on the Go: Shawls (Vogue Knitting on the Go!)

Book Review: Creative shawls, sloppy instructions, not for beginners
Summary: 2 Stars

I have knitted two shawls from this book, the Diamond Shawl and the Vine-Stitch Wrap. I agree that this book is beautifully printed, but poorly edited. The Vine-Stitch Wrap instructions are okay, but a chart would have been most helpful. The instructions for the Diamond Shawl are just flat out incorrect for the beginning rows and make for a very frustrating experience. The chart is helpful once the adjustment for the error is made. For the Shetland Shawl, the instructions for provisional cast-on are very confusing, not instructing you to use the Left Hand to separate the main and the scrap yarns. If I were a novice knitter trying to use this book, I would be bald by now.

Summary of Vogue Knitting on the Go: Shawls (Vogue Knitting on the Go!)

The popular series for the “knitter on the go” showcases the perfect take-along project: timeless, elegant shawls. Twenty classic designs—from gossamer lace creations and glittery fashion statements to sturdy wraps made for warmth—span the seasons in style and color. They come in unique shapes and forms, too, including round, triangle, and mitered, and in a range of skill levels. There are even some patterns to crochet! And they’re all created by the best designers, such as Nicky Epstein, Fayla Reiss, and Amy Bahrt, who contributes a charming and whimsical Sheep Shawl. Superbly photographed so that beginners can follow easily, this is truly Vogue? fashion at its very finest.
