Book Description

November 3, 2009

Whether creamy and warm or wintry cool, white evokes a sense of classic purity. Celebrate its astonishing variety with a collection of 25 stunning all-white projects for intermediate to advanced knitters, all made from the most luxurious yarns ever. From sensuous sweaters for women to adorable baby and children’s outfits to rugged masculine attire, these garments take white to new levels of excitement and opulence. Best of all, you’ll find that using white yarns only draws attention to the gorgeous textural details of each piece—the complex combinations of knits and purls, show-stopping lace, and sophisticated cables. The projects include: a delicate sleeveless tunic from luscious silk mohair and silk; a man’s cabled sweater; and an exquisite hat-and-bootie set that’s soft enough for baby’s tender skin and elegant enough to make a perfect shower gift.

Photographed in stunning natural settings and featuring a clean, stylish layout, this volume is a sumptuous addition to any knitter’s library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice patterns... for petite women... April 18, 2010
By M. Kim
Format:Paperback
I bought this book and I really liked a lot of the patterns. The photographs are gorgeous. But... once I started to study the patterns, I realized that most of the patterns for women's sweaters range from 36 to 40 inch bust. There are a couple of sweaters that accommodate a bigger range, but most of them are for 36, 38, or 40 inches. I'm a little bit disappointed. I'm tall, and I have a 40 or 41 inch bust. I would have really liked wearing some of these sweaters... if I could knit one without having to calculate adjustments on my own. I think the author and editors should have considered that the average dress size for American women is 14.
