4.0 out of 5 stars Great for quick projects, June 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Weekend Knits: Vogue Knitting on the Go (Hardcover)

I just got this book a couple days ago and there are alot of great projects. Everything can be made in a short amount of time. You have at least one project for every member of the family at any age ranging from booties, a baby blanket, toddler clothes, a tank for your teenage girl, a sweater for the guy, and some great items for the 30ish old female - love the fringed cable belt. The yarns are a bit expensive, but it's so easy to sub another yarn. Everything is labeled either easy or intermediate, but more are on the easy side. I also have the Chunky Knits book, and will probably work from Weekend Knits more often.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing-Projects are not attractive, October 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Weekend Knits: Vogue Knitting on the Go (Hardcover)

I love the Vogue Knitting books but this one was a real disappointment. The projects may be quick and easy to knit up but they are clunky and not very appealing. I only found one project in this book that I would consider spending time making and that was the bag on the front cover. The rest of the book was basically useless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, April 9, 2004

This book wasn't wonderful, but it wasn't terrible, either. Quite a few of the patterns were hideous-- as a teenager myself, I can assure you that no teen would wear the "Teen Tank", for instance. Also, most of the projects were knit in horrible colors. However, I liked the two scarf patterns, the mittens, and the sleeveless shell. I recommend getting this book from the library before you buy it.
