As in her previous book on Scarves and Shawls, she has delivered a beautifully photographed and produced book, with many attractive designs and interesting techniques. I bought this book for its section on what she calls diagonal knitting,which differs from what is sually called diagnoal knitting by being divided into stocking stitch and garter squares. It is very attractive. However,as was also a flaw in her previous book,some of the garments would cost well into the hundreds of dollars to make as they are knit in Prism yarns. I don't feel it is necessary to spend more for yarn for one garment than for a month's health insurance.

This is an excellent knitting book with beautiful sweaters. It is well laid out. The techniques are clearly explained. It represents beautiful variety in style. Good value for the money. The sweaters require varying competency levels providing something for every knitter. An excellent addition to my extensive knitting library.

This book has many innovative and challenging ideas and provides inspiration for the aspiring artist. However the yarns used are very spendy for the average budget. One has to wonder, "Is it the pattern or the yarn which makes me want to knit this?" Glad I bought the book through Amazon's used book sellers.

Absolutely excellent book have already knitted two garments from it. Nice clear and concise instructions.

Nancie Wiseman's Knitted Sweaters For Every Season uses four techniques to build sixteen very different sweaters, from light knits to warm sweaters for chilly evenings. Experienced knitters will find these patterns provide a satisfyingly diverse range of projects.
