This is in my Amazon cart to get when I have a bit extra ... not only are the designs excellent and unique, the last 15 pages are a "design notebook" giving tips on designing your own bags and purses ...
Not the biggest selection of patterns I like, but this book gets 5 stars for the creative "how to make your own bag" section. It gives details on designing your own purses and how to make them off of simple sketches. I notice that a lot of pattern books don't want you to learn how to create your own patterns, but Bag Style kind of rocks that way!
A nice book full of bags to knit. Some of the bags are way too colorful for my taste but changing the colors can fix that. Two of my favorite patterns are the knitting needle bag on page 25. Also the Ipod Pocket on page 73 is cute.
Fantastic patterns! Can't wait to make the bag on the cover, as well as some of the other bags in the book. Looks like it will be an interesting study in knitting structure.
Now if I only knew how to knit or crochet. I want so many of these bags. ADORABLE!!
I liked only one of the patterns.

This was a nice book to look through - the patterns were interesting and intriguing. I also loved how many pictures they had of each design, it was a great way to see all the dimensions of the bag and what it truly looked like. The book's layout was nice as well and I felt like it was easy to navigate through. I'd recommend this book.

Another book that tossed crocheting in just to entice people to buy it... really a sad showing of crocheted items!
Many of the bags pegged to be knitted were felted and could easily have been done with crochet work. Very disappointing... glad I borrowed it from the library rather than purchasing it or I'd have to ask for my money back!
For crocheters, I would say to pass this book by.

There were only 3 crochet patterns in the book, but all 3 were interesting and easy to work. One thing that surprised me was that a lot of the bags that could have easily been made from crochet, were instead for knitting. More experienced crocheters might be able to get ideas just from some of the pictures, even if the patterns are for knitting.

Made the bag on the cover. Came out really well, but was too lazy to cover buttons and sew them on. Giftee liked it. Will try some others eventually.
There's a cute knitted bag in here -- you use a set of bamboo knitting needles as part of the strudture of the finished bag! Adorable!
It's ok - though a lot of the bags don't seem very practical to me. I like Scarf Style & Wrap Style much better.
There are some interesting designs, but I don't think I'll be knitting them anytime soon.
Some cute patterns but not enough for me to buy this book.
This is one great knitting book for eye-candy!
Great ideas!
