Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* This is a knitting book for the plus-size females that minces no words, delivered with a large dollop of humor and no small technical and artistic wizardry. Without always referring to book number one (Big Girl Knits, 2006), Moreno and Singer reprise their design wisdom for larger women—think skim and go to waist— then add new wrinkles, er, ideas. Their real secret? Take the time to measure the three Bs (boobs, bellies, and butts) carefully and then calculate, in advance, changes in the pattern. Their advice, before the advent of the 25 new patterns, is captured in lots of sidebars, charts to use, and icons to follow (and giggle at). Thanks to the fingers of 20 talented designers, the knitwear is attractive enough for even size 8’s to drool over: a greener-than-green cabled peapod Aran jacket, socks in a variety of lengths, the latest techniques in handbags, and other lacelike, ultrafeminine (and flattering) tops. Who knew that fabby was the word for big, beautiful girls? --Barbara Jacobs

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Better than the first one!, April 3, 2008
I bought the first book just for the wonderful measuring info, I didn't like the patterns in it at all. Not so with this one. LOTS of sizing and measuring info that does not feel like repeats from the first book. A WONDERFUl way to design your own sweater that will FIT! It rocks!Beautiful, beautiful patterns. Sweaters, socks, shawls, even purses! This book is one every curvy knitter should own, hands down. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars YES!!! Buy this book!, April 15, 2008
This is it, what I have been looking and waiting for.

This is the Best Ever Book on knitting for the Big Girls.

There are some wonderful patterns in this book that I am actually going to use without modifying them, I like them so much Just The Way They Are. The women in the photos look great in their big girls knits, the text is highly readable (not boring) and full of advice just for us. There is a full page Yarn Yardage Chart based on type of garment, gauge, and bust measurement that I am going to xerox and put in my purse! (It will be with me for next year's Stitches West.)

To the authors, you've done a great job. This book is better than your last. I am looking forward eagerly to you next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Something for everyone, April 7, 2008
By Shannon Okey "knitgrrl.com" (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
The first Big Girl Knits book revolutionized the way we think about knitting for women of all sizes by emphasizing knitting items that fit and flatter YOU. Not some made-up measurements for size X, but your actual size. Jillian Moreno and Amy R. Singer are back with an all-new collection of beautiful garments for ample knitters that focus on choosing yarns, colorwork, stitch patterns and more that look great in patterns that are fun to knit. It's a challenge picking just one project to get started on, as they're all beautiful and use gorgeous yarns you won't be able to resist.

Check out the Knitgrrl Show podcast on iTunes for an interview with Moreno about this book and other plus-sized knitting topics -- she's a wealth of information on a much-needed topic in knitting books! More Big Girl Knits and Big Girl Knits should be a part of every knitter's library for the fun, conversational tone of their introductions alone. I love these books, and frequently recommend them to shoppers in the knitting store next door who are looking for great patterns in their size.
