The patterns here range from elegant evening dresses to relaxed leisure wear. Some update classic styles, others showcase the most contemporary fashions. Each design has a special feature, perhaps yarns in striking colors or a creative use of beads, sequins, tassels, and buttons. Along with the easy-to-follow instructions and color photos, there's practical advice on adapting a pattern for specific needs and knitting diagrams.

4.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best machine knitting books!,
By Tulugaq "Linda" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creative Machine Knitting (Paperback)
This is one of the best machine knitting books I've ever seen. While I don't like every single pattern (that's unlikely even with the best of books), it has more attractive patterns than not. It includes discussion of design and embellishments, too, so even when these patterns are out of style - let's face it, it happens - the book won't be useless. Unlike most machine knitting books and pattern leaflets, most of these patterns are not tired, boxy (read: unflattering to most body shapes) grandma sweaters.
A previous review complains that the book was written for Brother machines, but I hardly see the point of a criticism like that - machine knitters chart and measure all the time anyway. It's not a hindrance whatsoever. The instructions are clear, so readers can adapt them to any machine (or hand knitting).

2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By
This review is from: Creative Machine Knitting (Paperback)
The garments are gorgeous. However, the book is written primarily for a machine that is no longer available, made by Brother. Other machines can be substituted if the correct gauge, but all measurements are in metric which can be a challenge in the US. Also, since the book is written in the UK, and I have never seen the yarns described widely available in the US I think you would have to be very advanced to do all the substitutions, and if you were that advanced you probably wouldn't need this book.
