Didn't find the sweaters irresistable . . ., 24 Sep 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Irresistible Knits: Sweaters for Men, Women, and Teens (Paperback)
The book is nicely produced, a high quality paperback made in China. Photos of the sweaters are fairly clear, with only some emphasis on poses of the models that obscure the sweaters here and there. The instructions seem clear also. The patterns call for Paton's or Naturally yarns, fairly inexpensive although Paton's is difficult to find in the US -- try a Canadian resource like Ram Wools in Winnipeg. The fault I found in this book is simply that I found most of the sweaters unappealing. The cover title and photos led me to believe that I would find more stylish sweaters than I did. I purchased based on one of the cabled sweaters I saw in an ad for the book -- only to find on seeing a full-size photo that the sweater is much too juvenile for me. Hence my disappointment, although the sweaters are all quite nice for teenagers or young adults. But then, most of the sweaters seem ordinary, things you can find in any simple knitting book or things that you could actually create yourself without needing any book/instructions at all. The patterns are arranged by season, and the more interesting sweaters are in the winter section. Those for spring and summer are typical, tiny cotton sweaters without much inspiration. A plus is that the sweaters are sized for adults and teens. In a season when we are seeing a good number of knitting books being published, this book may not be able to compete with those that are more stylish -- on the other hand, this is a very good book for the advanced beginner looking for a little challenge.

This is a wonderful book. There are VERY inspiring patterns in this book. I look forward to making several of the sweaters for myself-- a first!!This is a great book younger knitters who are looking for hip sweater styles.
I really enjoyed this book

great book, 14 Mar 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Irresistible Knits: Sweaters for Men, Women, and Teens (Paperback)
I like this book because the styles relate to the seasons and the photographs make me feel as though I'm really outside, breathing the fresh air. This of course encourages me to get back to knitting and trying out these patterns. The photos also give a close-up detail of the stitches, which is very helpful. A real treat is the men's styles featured of which 'gryphon' and 'wishbone' are very handsome and well suited to any age group. Although some of the models are young, several patterns would be very suitable for women in their forties or older--suchas 'mariner', 'salish','kells' and 'twister'. This is an excellent book for a beginner or someone who likes a challenge but isn't ready to completely design their own. Bravo Kirsten Cowan!
