Excellent book,
By Jen Gould (Fresno, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Irresistible Knits: Sweaters for Men, Women, and Teens (Paperback)
These sweaters are beautiful, and the directions are clear and easy to understand. I had a question about one pattern, and the author personally responded to my email. I love this book, and I highly recommend it.

great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Irresistible Knits: Sweaters for Men, Women, and Teens (Paperback)
I like this book because the styles relate to the seasons and the photographs make me feel as though I'm really outside, breathing the fresh air. This of course encourages me to get back to knitting and trying out these patterns. The photos also give a close-up detail of the stitches, which is very helpful. A real treat is the men's styles featured of which 'gryphon' and 'wishbone' are very handsome and well suited to any age group. Although some of the models are young, several patterns would be very suitable for women in their forties or older--suchas 'mariner', 'salish','kells' and 'twister'. This is an excellent book for a beginner or someone who likes a challenge but isn't ready to completely design their own. Bravo Kirsten Cowan!
