Product Description

Everywhere you look you see people of all ages knitting and wearing knitted garments: scarves, pullovers, cardigans, jackets, ponchos, shells, tops and tunics.

With the addition of many new, younger knitters, the styles and patterns are changing as well. Today’s knitter seems to favor sweaters and jackets that are amazingly easy to knit with classically simple lines, yet having a certain flair that makes them trendy.

You’ll find all of this and more in this collection of over 50 original knitting designs. Some of the designs are funky and flashy, some chic and sleek and others timeless and refined. No matter what the style, they are quick to make using the gorgeous yarns from Brown Sheep Yarn Co.

All knitters will have fun stitching these outstanding projects! The only thing they’ll enjoy more is wearing them or seeing them worn by a loved one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 18, 2005

By	Knitting Annie (Asheville, NC USA) - See all my reviews

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring & uninspiring, March 14, 2006

By	Pauline J. Cambridge (Harrison Twp. MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars not THAT bad, October 11, 2006

By	Sherry L. Bennett "stenolicious" (Seattle) - See all my reviews

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.
