cute knits,
By sage "sage" (manitoba, canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Baby Knits Book (Paperback)
There are cute knits in this book, however beware of the usual occurance in debbie bliss books....lots of errors! I am making the cable and moss stitch sweater and there weren't any corrections on her web site until recently so I was on my own to fix them. She does state in the book that she creates the kids patterns so they come out a bit oversize to give room for their quick growth, so that's nice, especially if it is taking longer than usual to knit. The book is nice because it's loaded with lots of great patterns rather than my usual purchasing habit of buying knitting books because I see only one really great pattern.

Beautiful pictures, but take care on instructions!!,
By Knitting_Knut "knitting_knut" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Baby Knits Book: The Ultimate Collection of Knitwear Designs for Newborns to 3-Year-Olds (Hardcover)
I loved looking at the projects in this book. However, my first attempt, was very frustrating - cable & seed stitch jacket. There is an error in the beginning, and one of the cable stitches is wrong on the back. See row 17, pag 64 - make sure you do the cable on the K4. I thought it odd when I first started the row (since it's a repeat row for 7 more inches) but kept going -- but I had to rip it out at 5 inches when it looked very, very bad.If you are not experienced, you won't know how to finish the pockets either. The top of the outside appears in pictures to be seed-stitched, but no directions for finishing the pocket appears, EVER!! I see all the rave reviews, but while I love the pictures, I am amazed that there were such major errors or ommissions on the first one I tried. I am hopeful because the projects are beautiful. I consider myself an experienced knitter, knitting for over 20 years; and this sweater should have been a snap. Instead, I was almost in tears with frustration. I am not sure if no one in previous reviews noticed this missing cable, or no one who reviewed tried this sweater. Make sure you do a gauge with your needle and yarn, because this one was off - suggested an 8..I used a 6.

A 6-12 mos old who needs a sweater that is 32" around?!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Baby Knits Book: The Ultimate Collection of Knitwear Designs for Newborns to 3-Year-Olds (Hardcover)
I'm trying to make the cable and moss stitch jacket on page 67. The back calls for casting on 72 stitches for a 6-12 mos. If knit to gauge that is 16" across the back. The fronts call for casting on 36 stitches for each side. This is a pattern for one HUGE baby. Its big enough around for an average-sized woman!Also, the errata sheet on Debbie's website forgets to include the missed cable on the back of the sweater. This is not what I would expect from UK's so-called top knitting designer, especially when there are 4 other patterns with errors as well. Very frustrating.
