1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected., March 18, 2006
This review is from: Classic Knits for Real Women: Versatile Knitwear Designs for Plus Sizes (Paperback)
If you consider a size 12 plus size and have $200+ dollars to drop on yarn for unflattering sweaters, then this is the book for you. If you are a hip pleasantly plump size 18+ knitter looking for great current designs, do not get this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Size 12 is Plus Size? Not in my Universe., August 25, 2006
This review is from: Classic Knits for Real Women: Versatile Knitwear Designs for Plus Sizes (Paperback)
From the title, I thought this would be a great book - classic sweaters designed for larger women. Um, not as such.

The vast majority of the models for the book? Apparently sizes 8-12. There's one, count it, *one* model who looks like she might wear a plus size.

I wasn't overly impressed with the garments themselves, but that pales beside the fact that I can't trust them to be sized correctly for plus sizes because their models are not plus-sized.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dumpy patterns, April 5, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Classic Knits for Real Women: Versatile Knitwear Designs for Plus Sizes (Paperback)
I am so disappointed. I was hoping for sleek and stylish patterns for size 12 and higher. So many of the patterns in this book have oversized fringe and bobbles. Yuck! Real women and plus size women are not necessarily frumpy grannies.
