3.0 out of 5 stars Exceedingly simple designs, July 23, 2005

By	Med Student (Dayton, OH) - See all my reviews

I'm torn on how to rate this book. The patterns given are designer in quality, but uninspiring in form. There are several blanket and pillow patterns, all of which are stripes or color blocks (even relatively new knitters could design these themselves with a little creativity). The blanket sweater on the front is the most innovative design in the book. Plain gloves, cabled socks, very basic child's cardigan, cable afghan, lace shawl, man's tweed turtleneck sweater. The patterns, the use of color, everything is so uninspiring for knitting. In spite of this I could definitely see myself buying some of the items in it from preppy household stores like Pottery Barn. The finished projects do a great job of avoiding that homemade look and they have an uptown urban classiness that I like. But I just cannot see myself devoting much time to knitting patterns that I am not inspired by.

I decided to keep the book because I might try the women's cardigan in it. But I'm sure that I would not have bought it if I'd known I'd only be interested in actually making 1 pattern out of 34. Also, I do want to mention that this may not be a very good book for beginning knitters in spite of its simple patterns because the instructions are strictly shorthand. Since many new knitting books have gone to a more conversational method of instruction this might throw some people.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, kind of..., July 25, 2005

By	Cikk "cikk" (Malta) - See all my reviews

I echo J Tomich practically all the way. I regret buying this book, it's just too much hassle to return it from Europe. I expected much more from SD. The only pattern that is interesting is the camisole, which is like something out of Vintage Knits. I can imagine this book being published under the name Simple Knits, but if Erika Knight had done it it would have been quirkier.

Oh - and what's with the grouping of patterns under colour stories? Hello, book editors - knitters don't want to have to leaf thru a whole book to find a pattern! Whatever happened to contents pages?

2.0 out of 5 stars Sarah Dallas has done better work, August 12, 2005

By	Yarn Whisperer (The middle of my yarn stash) - See all my reviews

I almost pre-ordered this book because I'd liked stuff Sarah Dallas has designed for Rowan. I'm glad I didn't buy it. This is not a knitting book I'll be adding to my (extensive) collection. The chapters are organized around color themes, which I think is ridiculous -- I want a knitting pattern to be about the shaping of the garment itself, because that's what I'll be doing. Thaks, Sarah, but I can pick my own yarn colors. None of the designs are interesting or original from a design standpoint, from what I saw. They're all fine, but they're pretty generic. If you already own a lot of books and knitting mags, you've probably got a few dozen patterns like these already. If you want a book that's well written, gorgeous and actually innovative, (and a more interesting buy for intermediate and advanced knitters) I'd recommend "Loop-d-loop" by Teva Durham.
