1.0 out of 5 stars Too many errors, January 26, 2007

By	K. Luck "punkmom" (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I started knitting the Tank Top and after the error in gauge which I could work out, I got to the shoulder bind-off and there appears to be whole lines missing. The instructions ask you to bind off 4 st knit to last 4, turn and then bind off again. I finally worked it out with the help of an expert knitter and yarn store owner. If there are errata published I might knit another pattern from this book. The designs are pretty and very classic, but if I can't work out the pattern, it does me no good.

2.0 out of 5 stars Big Oops, January 15, 2007

By	Susan Gardner Bowers "Susu" (Whittier, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a lovely book - nice to touch, nice to look at, and great for patterns. Why then two stars? HUGE mistake in the first pattern I worked on -tank top gauge is off by a factor of 10. No errata page available, and makes one wonder, and pause a really long time, before purchasing yarn, or moving ahead with a project. I am not a good enough knitter to recognize an error when I see one - I happened to be in the yarn store where the owner found this one. I would/will give this book five stars when the errata page is available.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic patterns, January 11, 2007

By	D. G. Van Velsen "- EDDIE" (Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has a good range of patterns for women fitting up to a 107 cm bust, with finished size of 112 cm bust. They are mainly sweaters and jackets and some socks, scarves and a bag. All the patterns are classic in style with yarn used rangeing from 4 ply (fingering) to bulky. They are all Rowan yarns.
