3.0 out of 5 stars
Not so quick,
By MagickDragonKnits (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quick Baby Knits: Over 25 Quick and Easy Designs for 0-3 year olds (Paperback)
The designs are very traditional and sweet, but not very quick. They are still done on US6 needle or smaller. The designs are worth making, but save the $ and go to the library. Debbie Bliss does nice things, but she seems to do the same nice things only slightly different in many of her books. She also only uses her brand of yarn, which is pricey and very skimpy on yardage!

This review is from: Quick Baby Knits: Over 25 Quick and Easy Designs for 0-3 year olds (Paperback)
This was the first Debbie Bliss book that I have purchased. In part I chose this one because the title said "quick" knits. As another reviewer mentioned, I don't really see these as "quick" patterns and not only because I am a newer knitter. The first pattern I chose used such small needles and had such a fine pattern (the cover design) neither rows, nor the whole pattern worked quickly. My only other complaint was too few pictures of the actual patterns themselves. While the photos are quite enchanting and truly move you to begin knitting the patterns, they are not very detailed, nor are they very clear in some instances. (I love the way the Rowan books show other views of the patterns with the instructions at the back after the glitzy photos in the front). That having been said, the patterns are functional, adorable and very worthwhile to have in your "baby knitting" repertoire. The pricing was good for the number of patterns that you get, and although it is a soft cover it is sturdy, good quality.

Between 3 and 4 stars,
By A. Reader (Boise, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quick Baby Knits: Over 25 Quick and Easy Designs for 0-3 year olds (Paperback)
I am not generally a Debbie Bliss fan--she tends to recycle patterns from one book to another, changing perhaps the color scheme or color pattern, which an experienced knitter could quite easily do on her own. Her books also tend to have errors and I am never fond of books that specify a specific brand of yarn rather than just listing the weight--it makes things quite difficult when the yarn is no longer available or if you can't figure out what yarn weight was used. THAT BEING SAID, there really are some adorable designs in this book. I would not call them "quick" by any standards, and I am a fast knitter. Debbie Bliss does provide unique designs that are worth exploring, but I think this book would frustrate an inexperienced knitter, and maybe a few experienced ones. Buy it on sale, or check it out from the public library before purchasing.
