This is a great book, with interesting sweater designs, luscious photos, and clear illustrations. The chapters give easy to understand lessons on guage, yarn selection, reading stitch charts and using scrap knitting, (great information for any knitting project) not to mention knitting and finishing techniques for knitting a whole sweater from one cuff to the other. Projects for the whole family!

Susan Guagliumi's book Knitting Cuff to Cuff (Twelve Sweaters One Way) is very well written...explicit,concise & the directions are easy to follow. It is beautifully illustrated & an inspiration for knitters eager to try new avenues. Her book opens up limitless possibilities for knitters both beginner & experienced.

This is a beautiful book, with lots of information and many designs utilizing the technique of knitting cuff to cuff using the easy instructions provided. I recommend it to knitters who enjoy style and ease of fit.

A delightfully fresh approach to knitting garments for all skill levels, with projects for many family members. The sections on techniques will benefit any knitter. Hard to find adaptations for machine knitters are included as well, making this book a lasting resource for any knitter.
The book is colorful and presented very well.

I read this cover to cover. It's very clear, and full of lots of tips for special techniques. Easy enough for the beginner, but enough extras to keep me interested (I've been knitting for 20 years).

This is a fun book, easily done, for the most part, with some knitting challenges for an advanced beginner. The concept of cuff to cuff knitting is great fun, and easily adapted to fit a variety of body shapes and sizes.

Generally liked the book, basically all the sweaters are made the same except for type of stitches. There is a small bit of info after in the book about converting the patterns for machine knitting. As a machine knitter, I was hoping for more on machine knit patterns. This is a good reference book in which you can take almost any sweater design and make it cuff to cuff. A nice edition to my knitting library.

this is an excellent book for knitters who want to try something different. The sweater patterns are great for using the new variageted yarns on the market in a way that is very flattering - eg vertical instead of horizontal. I thoroughly recommend you purchase it if you are a knitter!

I bought this book to learn to knit pullovers from cuff to cuff. I succeeded. The patterns cover sweatters for women, men, children, pullovers, and coat sweatters. The designs come in the following sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL. The designs are simple and classic. They can't be easily dated to one decade. For people who want sweatters which can be worn a long time, who aren't worried about keeping on the cuttin edge of fashion, this designs are a good choice.

the book is what I hoped - I was looking for patterns that didn't have pieces to sew together -
