This book is very easy to look through, it offers patterns that are knitted with brightly colored yarn and the way they formatted the book is very pleasant. I only found one pattern that I wanted to knit, but I thought the patterns in this book were pretty good, for the most part, some were a little over the top (in either yarn/color choice or were articles of clothing I'd never wear.) An okay book, the colors were nice and the book itself was fun to look through, but not very many patterns I ...more
Has great looking patterns but I've only made the cozy scarf. I want to try the heart sweater pattern.
This is the first knitting book I got, because the patterns all use huge yarn, big needles, and simple designs. It allowed me to jump right in and do a sweater after the obligatory first-project-scarf. Apart from learning, I haven't found much use for it, though. I guess big yarn isn't my thing.
Some fun designs. Julia Sweeney's story about spending months knitting a sweater for her boyfriend only to have him break up with her 2 days after giving it to him is enough to keep you knitting for yourself :)
Some cute projects in this book, but the woman is such a whore for hollywood celebrities that I just can't stand her. I will take this out of the library over and over, but I will never buy it.
There were maybe two patterns in this whole book that I would want to knit. And it annoyed me that all the yarns were Suss' own. A little too self-consciously hip and trendy for me.
Simple knits, gorgeous yarns. Nothing new here.
Really a 3.5-3.75 star.
