Book Description

July 20, 2010

Knitters seeking instant gratification will quickly be able to view the results of their handiwork with these projects from one of the foremost creators of hand knits. Designed to be made in less than a week at a time—or in some cases as little as an afternoon or a couple of evenings—these items are ideal for small amounts of yarn left over from previous projects. The fun-to-make, quick-to-finish, portable designs are organized by the season of the year.  From springtime fingerless gloves and a floral corsage to a summery string bag and a lacy scarf, and including a back-to-school iPod cover, a simple beret, and ideas for Christmas gifts and tree decorations, knitters will find ideas to occupy themselves throughout the year.

3.0 out of 5 stars the good, the bad, and the silly, October 21, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Knitter's Year: 52 Make-in-a-Week Projects-Quick Gifts and Seasonal Knits (Hardcover)
I felt a little cheated when I received this book. 52 projects, ha!

There are some nice projects in here but there are 12 that are either silly or IMHO worthless.

I like the patterns in the "fall" section the most: the socks, beret, knitting bag, striped gloves, cabled bag.

The 12 "patterns" I think that should have been left out and replaced with something of better value are:
bunny egg cozies (someone else mentioned this and I agree), flowerpot covers, floral corsage, bead necklace, bookmarks, bow belt, lace shelf edging, votive candle holder covers, mug cozy, napkin rings, pompom garland (the most worthless), and the laced edged pillow. There are others that are "iffy" too.

Some of the other patterns are very similar to ones that have appeared in her other books. It seems like the author is recycling, usually a good thing but not in a book of pattens.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Few Weeks in the Life of the Knitter's Year, September 30, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Knitter's Year: 52 Make-in-a-Week Projects-Quick Gifts and Seasonal Knits (Hardcover)
I love the projects in this book! I have already completed two pumpkin pin cushions, and am working on the baby sweater. The directions are easy to follow, and the recommended yarns are yummy! The projects features are simple enough to be enjoyed by the beginning knitter, and sophisticate enough for the more experienced knitter.
