3.0 out of 5 stars Cute book, may have errors, May 17, 2005

By

This review is from: Knitting for Babies & Kids (Hardcover)

This book has a lot of really cute patterns in it, and a pretty good size range, which is sometimes an issue with patterns for little kids; a lot of the toddler-and-up patterns go up to at least size 8. There's a lot of variation in the type and complexity of the projects. There are some adorable patterns for young boys, which can be difficult to find.

However, I am currently working on the first pattern I've knitted out of the book, the Sunny Fun Top shown on page 100, which features a textured center panel that's charted only (no alternative written directions), and there are some significant errors in the chart. These errors are of sufficient magnitude that someone inexperienced in using charts might well not be able to complete the project. No errata page was readily available from the publisher.

This is the only project I have yet attempted from this book. It may well be that, by pure happenstance, I managed to pick the only project in the book that has major errors. Then again, the problem may be more pervasive. Right now, I feel I can only give this book a mid-level rating, as I feel a slight warning is in order. The contents are really cute, but there's at the very least a potential for problems.

Despite the negative reviews, I ordered this and then emailed the publisher for corrections. [...]Goose in the flowers hat, sunny fun top, diamond lace baby set were the corrections they emailed to me but I noticed they are not yet up on their website. There are some really lovely designs by some of my favorite designers too so don't miss this one. Yarns used are Plymouth which are pretty reasonable and easy to find. Schematics and charts are also included where needed. Plentiful colored pictures, good print and binding. Very good collection in this subject.

I have been trying to knit the Diamond Lace Baby Set and am facing major problems! Even the errata sheet that came with the book has errors in this pattern. The chart for the sweater front contains several errors.
