Year Round Knitting keeps the needles flying,
By Linny C (Washingon State, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knitting Year-Round (Better Homes & Gardens) (Hardcover)
I really liked this book. It features 75 beginner and intermediate projects, beautiful and fast to accomplish. My favorite, so far: the northwoods carigan. Yes! I actually made a beautiful fashionable cardigan with some easy but complex looking intarsia! Get this book and enjoy taking your knitting to the next level.

Great Knitting Patterns,

This review is from: Knitting Year-Round (Better Homes & Gardens) (Hardcover)
The first time I saw this book, I skimmed it lightly. Then when I went back through it, I realized what a treasure it really is for knitters. The designs range from Beginner to Easy to Intermediate to Experienced. But one of my very favorite things about this book is that I can find most of the yarns they mention! Some knitting books use obscure types of yarns, and even when I am careful to "check my gauge" it never turns out like the pictures. Even our local yarn shop often hasn't even heard of the yarns that some books recommend.This book uses yarns that you can find at Hobby Lobby, or Michaels', or even Walmart (for the Baby Denim cotton yarns). The types of yarns listed include Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride worsted, Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky, Patons Classic Wool worsted, Muench Yarns Bali sport weight, Lion Brand Homespun bulky weight, and Patons Bumblebee Baby Cotton. There are still some yarn types I've never heard of, like Sandnes (Swedish Yarn Imports) Lanett superwash, Wendy Velvet Touch sport weight, and so on. Still, I'm relatively impressed with the availability of many of the yarns, and the yarns I've not heard of do not look that difficult to interchange (famous last words, I realize). As far as the patterns themselves, I'm already halfway through a sweater and looking forward to doing the mittens -- there are several mitten patterns using Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky. I don't particularly care for some of the colors chosen in the patterns, but that's what is fun about knitting -- you can choose your own colors and be creative. The more I've gone through this book, the more I've liked it. It's a great addition to any knitter's library.

Look before you buy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Knitting Year-Round (Better Homes & Gardens) (Hardcover)
This is a nice book but a lot of the patterns were a little dated. A wide range of patterns and a good book to buy if you want to make a number of basic knitted pieces -- just check it out before you buy. If you have a number of books with mitten patterns, or hat patterns, you may not need this book. The baby and kids clothes are cute, but there is only a few patterns of each. Definitely not the young, trendy styles you may find in another book: it all depends what you are looking for.
