Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Modern knitters are simply in love with luxury yarns—and the stylish items they can make from these opulent, irresistibly touchable materials. Sensual Knits feeds their hunger for fashionable projects made specifically with the finest merinos, alpacas, silks, cashmeres, and angoras. Beautiful models display the clothing, and every exquisitely photographed garment provides a stunning example of how classic can also be very sexy. A textured jacket features a nipped waist that hugs a woman’s curves, a bishop-sleeved sweater has a daringly plunging neckline, and there are camisoles, silky negligees, and evening dresses too. And be assured: these pieces will look great for years to come, not just for a single season. Any advanced beginner who has mastered the basics can handle these patterns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Beautiful, WEARABLE Designs!, December 22, 2007
Even if you aren't into the whole "luxury fibers" thing, even if you are a "non standard size", and even if your tastes run more classic and conservative than most, you will find MANY gorgeous items to knit in this book.

Classic, feminine, beautiful, wearable to work if one desires, functional designs fill the pages. There isn't a single item in here about which I thought, "hmmm - maybe if I were 20 years younger/20 pounds lighter/or 20 times hotter, I might wear that." And even my knitting daughter who IS younger lighter/hotter by factors of 20 found the designs gorgeous and desirable, too. THe layout of the book is lovely, patterns flow right from the gorgeous photos, and SO Much information is given, not only on yarn and needles and gauge, but also on what size was photographed, how much ease the piece was designed around, and so on, which will make choosing a size a snap, and a properly fitting garment the result of your time investment.

If you love beautiful knitwear design, you need this book. It's that simple.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Collection of Beautiful Knits!, December 30, 2007
This book provides a great selection of versatile but wearable knits. Selecting the first project will be difficult. The designs are classic with just enough flair or extras that add significantly to their appeal. This is a wonderful addition to the my knitting library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Patterns live up to the name, January 11, 2008
By Cilla Ann "cilla_ann" (Oh United States) - See all my reviews
More time than not lately new knitting books don't live up to there names, this is certainly not the case with this title. There are few patterns that I wouldn't be very happy to knit and to wear. I have only started one pattern, the lily of the valley gloves. I fell in love with them the first time I saw them.
