Product Description
"Knitting is the new yoga," declares knitting queen Suss Cousins, and she's right. It's hip, relaxing, and deeply satisfying. Knitting has made a thoroughly modern comeback, thanks in part to the inspiration and creativity of knitter-to-the-stars Suss Cousins. Suss has invented a new vocabulary for an old art, and in the process has developed a passionate following of young, smart, stylish knitters, among them some of Hollywood's hottest stars. Bringing her ideas to a book for the first time, Suss invites knitters both new and accomplished to make offbeat and colorful projects that are both elegant and wearable. As a sought-after costume designer for both film and TV, she has also chosen to include some of her most inspired designs for films from The Matrix to How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Featuring 30 amazing projects with full instructional details Hollywood Knits is equal parts practical and inspirational.

the scooby-doo sweater is nice...,

This review is from: Hollywood Knits: Thirty Original Suss Designs (Hardcover)
but that's about it. I don't need a cel phone cover, and if I did, I wouldn't knit it. It's just a showcase of her famous friends and knits they... agreed to be photographed with. There are a few cute things in it, but I'd say it's probably a lower hit-rate than a randomly chosen knitting book.

Hollywood Knits,
By Mrs G V Lumsdon (Chester, Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hollywood Knits: Thirty Original Suss Designs (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully photographed and well presented book. However, I ordered this book expecting glamorous and original designs - I am sorry to say I was disappointed. The yarns used are colourful and of good quality, but the designs fail to inspire.

Great designs, but . . .,

This review is from: Hollywood Knits: With 30 Original Suss Designs (Paperback)
I do like a lot of Suss Cousins' designs given here - the book is worth getting if only for her Velma jumper and kooky Grinch ski hat - plus there are a few other nice designs too, all made with lovely yarn. However, Suss seems to be a bit of an egomaniac! Aside from what seems to be a belief that she personally is responsible for the new knitting revolution, there is just so much name-dropping of all her Hollywood pals in this book that it really starts to grate. This is reflected in the photos used to accompany the patterns as well: all too often, they focus far too much on the famous model (presumably they are famous in the US: the only one I recognised was Julianne Moore), and not enough on the piece I want to knit. I know what Julianne Moore looks like, but I'd really like a better shot of the cardigan she's in before I decide to make it, thanks!
