truly lovely!, 15 April 2011

This review is from: Sweater Book (Hardcover)
I've had this book 20+ years and still love the designs which are unique but quite complex involving a lot of intarsia knitting. Patterns such as the one of little Dutch people and windmills (I adapted this for my young son), a beautiful pansy jumper and a willow pattern waistcoat. Also a gorgeous cardi of raingirls with umbrellas & boots and other jumpers featuring seagulls, cats, scottie dogs, scarab beetles plus a selection in geometric design and two plain ones based on 1930 designs with clever shaping. My only disaster with this book was when I tried to knit myself a tam o shanter and it turned out too big and my father said it would make a good home for a hamster! ( )
