Fisherman's sweaters
very good book! I will probably knit at least one sweater from all the designs. I really liked the history of each area of these designs.
Knitting for Fun
I was so excited to receive [[ASIN:1570760292 Fisherman's Sweaters: Twenty Exclusive Knitwear Designs for All Generations in the mail. The book arrived in beautiful condition and I can't wait to get started. The patterns appear to be well written and fairly easy to follow, although the level is for more advanced knitters. The hardest decision for me will be deciding which sweater I want to start with.
One of the Most Beautiful Knitting Books
This book is absolutely beautiful. It is filled with Aran, Guernsey and Fair Isle knits from Britain, Scotland, Ireland and the New World. It is a shame that Alice Starmore yarn is no longer available. However, I have substituted Jamieson, Rowan or Simply Shetland with good luck.
This book is filled with wonderful patterns for adults, mostly pull-overs. Even the names are luscious - Stornoway, Eriskay, Lochinver, Kinsale. I drool whenever I look at this book.
When I purchase a knitting book I ask myself 3 questions:
1) Are there projects in this book that I want to knit?
2) Are the patterns clear?
3) Is the book a good resource.
The answer to all three questions is a resounding 'Yes'.
This book is not for beginning knitters. It is a book for intermediate and experienced knitters. There is a small technique section in the back but it assumes that you know how to knit quite well. If you are a beginner you might want to get this book for inspiration.
