Product Description
Knitting is undergoing a stylish renaissance, 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 developed a passionate following of young, hip knitters, including some of Hollywood's hottest stars. Rose McGowan, Julia Sweeney, Laurence Fishburne and Bill Cosby count among her celebrity students and customers. Her designs have been worn on Friends, Frasier and many movies and other TV shows. Bringing her ideas to a book for the first time, Suss invites knitters new and accomplished to make offbeat and colourful projects that are both elegant and wearable. Thirty projects with complete step-by-step instructions and illustrations are featured in "Hollywood Knits", from adorable hats and scarves to gorgeous sweaters, throws and even a cell phone holder, happily modeled by icons of Hollywood chic. "Hollywood Knits" closes with a resource guide that lists where you can buy quality yarns and Suss designs nationwide.

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.

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.

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!

The author really puts me off
Like most of the other reviewers, I was lukewarm at best about the designs in this book.

Liked it so much I bought the rest!
Sounds a little over the top, and it probably is, but while I agree with the two previous reviewers slightly, in that I won't be knitting everything in the book, I think there are... Read more
