more beautiful bliss..., 1 May 2000
By A. Creech - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Family Knits: Over 25 Versatile Designs for Babies Children and Adults (Hardcover)
As always, this book from Debbie Bliss is beautiful enough to be a coffee table book. Gorgeous pictures (although they don't always show enough detail, a complaint that is common about Bliss books) of adorable children and real families, including Debbie Bliss's own children--I think we have watched her daughter grow up through her books. Again, the same advice I always offer when it comes to patterns by Debbie Bliss--read the whole pattern over a few times, with a more experienced knitter's input if you're a beginner, before even starting. Then read it again as you go along.
My only complaint about this book is that the cutest sweaters, of course, only come in baby and toddler sizes, although many of the others are sized for a wide age group. I'm referring to the little Scandinavian-looking jackets--one of which is pictured on the cover.

Debbie has done it again, 11 April 1999

Debbie Bliss has proven to me time and time again that each of her books have incredible and timeless designs. Debbie's Family knits is no exception. It is a fabulous book, because now you can make sweaters for the whole family from the same pattern, changing the colors to suit everyone's personalities. Anyone who enjoys knitting will find new patterns that they can now make for the grownups, as well as, the kids.
I highly recommend this book. It is a must have for any knitter.

Nice collection, well photographed, 22 Nov 1999

Debbie Bliss has produced a very nice book on knitting for the entire family. Her designs for children are still more stunning than those for adults, but there are several nice men's and women's sweaters here. Instructions are simple. Worth owning.
