2.0 out of 5 stars Unimpressive, August 18, 2004

They just made large patterns. Some nice ones, but not necessarily flatterng or slimming. Some were downright ugly and old-ladyish. Check the library!

4.0 out of 5 stars A couple of really classic patterns and the rest are nice, January 29, 2007

The sweaters in the book are easy to knit. The directions are clear and I plan to knit over half the patterns in the book. For me, that's a high return on the purchase of a pattern book. I knit in order to have sweaters that fit me, look good and are in good colors for me, so I like the fact that these patterns are simple and basic - I don't need to be challanged by a sweater pattern. If you're looking for trendy sweaters that will be completely out of style next winter this book is not what you're looking for.

I found the patterns in this book to be very easy to make. I loved the selection of classic styles. While other reviewers found the styles to be a bit simple, these will never go out of style. When you hand-knit something, you want to be able to wear it for a long time and these classic patterns are perfect for that reason.
