It's a Winner!,
By Sheri Smith (Spin2Knit in E. Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Knitter's Template: Easy Steps to Great-Fitting Garments (Paperback)
I rate this book right up there with The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns. One of the best tools yet! Kudos to Barry Klein, Laura Bryant and all the other contributors to this wonderful book. It is nice to see books that more advanced AND beginners can use equally.There are gauge and measurement charts for a variety of yarns and pattern styles and garment sizes, pluse some basic well written patterns that allow for lots of embellishments and customization by the knitter. Buy it and enjoy it! You won't be sorry.

Not JUST a template,

This review is from: A Knitter's Template: Easy Steps to Great-Fitting Garments (Paperback)
The title of this book is modestly deceiving; there are not only templates for garments, there are examples to use eyelash and fur yarn. Some of the patterns are "fur" jackets, long coats, jackets with cuffs and more. If you like to do stylish knitting, and you like to shop for yarn, not entirely sure what to do with it, this book is excellent. With the templates in hand, you can create a unique garment. Particularly recommended for people who love novelty yarns.

A Most Valuable Resource,
By cynthia crescenzo (New York City, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Knitter's Template: Easy Steps to Great-Fitting Garments (Paperback)
We have a knitting store in manhattan. we are extremely selective about the books we carry. everyone who works in the store owns a copy and we suggest it to all of our customers. this book is invaluable as it allows you to adjust and create patterns. the format carefully takes you through the entire process from selecting yarns, to determining gauge, to creating a pattern. in particular, it gives you great confidence and supports the use of a wide range of yarns, from the traditional to the novelty. this book also encourages holding many yarns together for a truly unique garment.we suggest this book for all levels of experience.
