Wonderful Cable Knitting Book, Feb 12 2011

This review is from: Deborah Newton's Cable Collection (Paperback)
This book came in record time, and it is now one of my favorite cable knitting books. The patterns are "involved" but not so difficult that a fairly new knitter could not do some of them. There are fancy patterns and plain patters. Something for beginner to advanced knitter. Wonderful book!

The book contains several sweaters I am interested in making and not just one--which is usually the case with knitting books. I recomment it for experienced knitters

depends on size range, Oct 27 2010
By Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deborah Newton's Cable Collection (Paperback)
The book includes a nice variety of mostly women's sweater patterns. (One "family" style did have a man's and child's version also.) There's also a hat/glove set and a bag. I'd say the book is intended for someone who already has some basic experience with cables. Although there are some basic knitting techniques with good illustrations in an appendix at the back, the book doesn't go into cabling techniques. It really is simply a pattern book - a "collection."I wasn't looking for anything more than that. The only reason the book doesn't rate high with me personally is that the sizes labeled "small" were rather large (several at 38"-42"). I recall only one exception - a 33.5" small, but that was intended to be worn with negative ease. (Most published patterns I've seen seem to consider a 34-36" max a small; 38"-42" seems wide even for the more boxy jacket styles.)
While, of course, one can recalculate everything to make whatever size is needed,I prefer not to have to do too much of that when I purchase patterns (vs. design one from scratch). So, whether you'll find this book a good addition to your library probably depends on what sizes you're planning to knit for yourself and others, and/or how much time you want to put into making alterations when necessary! I was dissapointed I had to pass on making some nice styles simply due to the sizing the designer chose.
Listmania!
