Review #1

Wonderful sweater designs

I love Nola Theiss' books in general, but this is one of the best. Some of the designs are a little dated (big '80s shoulders) but the majority truly are timeless. All are beautiful.




Review #2

Contains many significant mistakes

Readers and knitters should be aware that this book contains many significant mistakes. For example, one pattern gives exactly half the quantities of yarn required. In another, the pattern placement is wrong and you only find this out when you're half-way through. In yet another, the number of stitch repeats is incorrect. I wrote directly to the publisher pointing this out and got a very unhelpful reply, and I've seen no erratum slips or corrections in later editions. Take great care - the designs are attractive, but you could waste a lot of material and effort.
