4.0 out of 5 stars Features classic patterns for the entire family, August 19, 2004

By	digikat "digikat" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cotton Knits for All Seasons (Hardcover)

I really admire that this book doesn't try to cram in a "how to knit" chapter in the very beginning. Those hurried instructions never do justice to someone who's never knitted. Therefore, don't buy this book hoping that it will contain a chapter teaching you how to knit, because it doesn't. The patterns start right away, and they are for every member of the family - babies to adults. For babies we are presented with several sweaters, a hat, a dress, booties, and blankets. For children there are patterns for a dress, several sweaters, and a scarf. For adults there are patterns for several sweaters and two bags. While many baby and child patterns can be used for boys and girls, the adult patterns are all for women. All the items are made of cotton, of course, which as such a classic, smooth look. It really adds to the classic, clean, and simple look the items already have as a result of the pattern. My impression of the projects is that they are for an intermediate knitter, and they use all the basic skills: Fair Isle, color, cables, etc. This book is sure to please because all the items are beautiful and there's something here for everyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, June 10, 2004

By	MagickDragonKnits (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cotton Knits for All Seasons (Hardcover)

Beautiful designs! Lots of style for all ages, elegant cables, lace and bobbles. Must see pics! But the women's patterns are all small, nothing larger than 38", which is what my size 3 sister is! Other than that, she again peddles her expensive low yardage yarn line. Worth the price overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cotton Knits by Debbie Bliss, June 17, 2007

By	Barbara K. Davis "Pacawithknitting" (Medford, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cotton Knits for All Seasons (Hardcover)

This knitting pattern book is very clear and concise. The patterns are beautiful and, although too advanced for the beginner, could be easily knitted by an intermediate knitter. I have knitted three of the patterns: "Baby Bobble Jacket", "Baby Reefer Jacket" and the "Lace and Bobble booties" and have given them as gifts that were greatly appreciated. There are 25 knitted projects including children and women as well as the baby patterns. All of the instructions were easy to follow and the finished garments exquisite. The technique and basic information sections in the back were informative and helpful. Debbie Bliss is known for her beautifully intricate patterns and precise attention to detail. This book will remain a stable in my knitting library for many years.
