Great patterns but not a big range of sizes,

This review is from: Textured Knits: Quick and Easy Step-By-Step Projects (Paperback)
A good selection of lovely patterns, contemporary-feeling but classic enough to last, mainly (but not entirely) in the fitted cardigan category. I like the use of beads in some patterns, and the different stitch patterns used to achieve stitch texture. The book is high in production values, with good photography and a very Rowan- or Bliss- like feel. My biggest quibble is that the sizing is limited, only 3 sizes and they range from 34 to 38. Uses all Rowan and Jaeger yarns but most of the patterns are DK weight so it would be easy to substitute. Definitely worth a look if you fit in the size range.

Textured Knits,
This review is from: Textured Knits: Quick and Easy Step-By-Step Projects (Paperback)
I, too, bought this book for the cover sweater. I am knitting it now and discovered that altho the photo shows the chevrons coming together at the side seams, they will not do so. The charts themselves do not provide for that happening. In addition, there is an error in the left front chart. This is disappointing, to say the least. I logged on to the publisher's web site and could find no errata.

Nice addition,

This review is from: Textured Knits: Quick and Easy Step-By-Step Projects (Paperback)
I've found Textured Knits to be a lovely addition to my knitting library. The sweaters are pretty, and while the printed instructions may appear to limit sizing, an experienced knitter can readily enlarge a garment by increasing needle size and yarn gauge. Most of these styles can be knitted in easily obtainable, inexpensive yarns, or if preferred, in higher end designer yarns. Either way, the end product should be stylish and attractive. If you're the type of knitter who likes to follow a pattern to the letter, I suppose you might not like this collection. But if you're comfortable trying out your own little modifications, as I am, you'll find many of these patterns enticing.
