Only buy this book if you are a Suss fan
this book is full of errors that (when you go to the site) you have pages of corrections to go thru. This was a terrible book. It has 'famous' people in it, so if you want a book with famous people who knit, etc. then this is the book for you. If you aren't a fan of Suss, don't buy it.
never again!
THANKFULLY i got this from the library. i didn't cough up my own hard earned, non celebrity endorsed cash to pay for suss cousins' gloating.
only two things i'd make in this book and both are cardigans. sadly, neither goes over a 36 inch chest and i'm a 44. there'd be major adjusting on my part to get them to fit and not look like i'm wearing a sweater from the juniors' department of Kohl's.
that being said, you can buy most of this stuff AT Kohl's.
it makes me sad that this Swedish woman comes from a region of the world that does AWESOME things with knitting (i say this with confidence since i learned to knit in Finland).
bottom line, don't bother. find it online for free.
***on a side note, one reviewer mentioned that she doesn't like to borrow stuff from the library and photocopy. since knitting patterns and the such fall under the category of BEING ALLOWED to be photocopied (as long as it's for personal use and not mass production, including giving copies to your friends), i borrow things from the library, photocopy, make it, and THEN decide if i want to plunk down $20-35 for a book. saves me money in the long run from buying badly written books and wasting more yarn than i need to.***
A Great Designer!
I love this book because the designs are simple and allow the new fabulous yarn to shine. You don't have to knit very complicated patterns to make very stylish garments and this is one of the best books I have seen to make this statement. I have also ordered some of her yarn and it is wonderful.
