Although I love Brown Sheep yarns, this book does not do them justice. The photography features overly made up models in their brightly colored knits, but it's actually hard to see the sweaters and other garments. Photos or diagrams of technical details are non-existent. Styles are unsophisticated, but if you want to make legwarmers for your dog, you'll find a pattern here - complete with bobbles! I'll pass, thanks!

This book had nothing in it that I would take the time to knit. It was very disappointing. I'm sorry that I did not return it.

Okay. So the patterns in this book are not for the hippest, most fasionable items out today, but look at the title. The title is not "Totally Fashionable Knits to Wear", but "Quick Knits to Wear". That is exactly what is provided in this book, simple patterns that will knit up quick. And honestly, how many books do most of us have where every pattern in it is totally amazing? The directions are straight-forward, there are color pictures included for each design (and I have to say the models do not look "heavily made up", just cheesily posed), and the designs are simple enough to complete quickly. I think this book delivers what the title says, simple, quick knits that are wearable, and while not at the height of fashion, not dated either.

Boring and out of style if you are looking for something young, fashsion, up-to-date style. But it should be a very good one if you want something more basic, simple and ordinary. I won't call the patterns classic. And it has 3 or 4 kids patterns and GOD....they are ugly.

Book lives up to its title, "Quick Knits to Wear". Lots of nice, cute, easy and quick patterns for beginner level up to intermediate skill levels.
