Product Description
Product Description
In this combination how-to and inspirational book, Kaffe Fassett collaborates with fellow knitwear designer Zoe Hunt to create colorful garments for the whole family. There are 33 basic patterns grouped by motifs, which include squares and plaids, circles and dots, flowers, bows, and more. Eighty variations are fully illustrated; most are in stockinette stitch and easy to knit. Each chapter has a lively introduction by Fassett in which he describes the inspiration for the designs and gives advice on how to make a better finished garment.

Beautiful knits - difficult designs,
By Hellobeautiful (Vancouver Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family Album (Paperback)
The sweater in the book would require a high level of expertise in knitting as well as the patience of Job! Beautiful colour combo though a bit out dated.

Not for the meek of heart, but worth a look!,
By mcraeak - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Family Album (Paperback)
I had heard a great many people say how much they liked Fassett's use of color, and so I found this book and explored. I'm glad I did that before I bought it: I have a very different set of sensibilities when it comes to color than the authors of Family Album. I've given it a relatively high score, though, for the nice lines of their clothing and the clear instructions. I am just not the right knitter for their designs. There's nothing here for anyone below the level of an adventurous intermediate knitter (IMHO), but the book itself would be great inspiration to increase your skill if you like their style - great pictures and good-looking models make this almost a coffee table book. The patterns and colors are too overstated for my taste, but it's very clear to me that they love their subject and they give good value in the book (over thirty designs for about $20 on this site). 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

I love his use of color and design. Only downfall is not all patterns shown in pictures are in book. Has patterns for the whole family.
