Wish I'd read the GR description first, wouldn't have wasted my time on this - I hate chunky yarns and "chic!!" designs (so-called) tend to give me hives... (sigh). Nicely produced, good pix, excellent instructions, but limited range of sizes available and the aforementioned two major - for me - difficulties, doom this book to oblivion, at least in my eyes. YMMV. From 2008, the designs may have briefly been "in" for a heartbeat or two, but I doubt it - what skinny model-type is going to want to be completely covered, pretty much, in bulky yarn? One of my Pet Peeves is that so-called "chic designs" are rarely good-looking or comfortable-looking, and the patterns herein are no exception. Most look as though they would be quite unsuitable for most people. Read at your own risk. no reviews | add a review
Twinkle's Town & Country Knits whisks knitters to picturesque locations such as the California coast and the farms of New England - the influences for this set of Chia's signature garments - and offers 30 designs unified by their chic, classic silhouettes. From the Pacifica Cardigan (a sky-blue sweater with feather-edging openwork) to the Santa Lucia Skirt (a long, coral-and-pink skirt with wavy stripes) to the Bookbrowser s Sweater (a bright-pink, long-sleeved sweater with a bobble front and split fold-over neck), the projects suggest a town and country lifestyle, with a charming, witty touch that one expects from Twinkle collections. The patterns feature the attention to shaping and the innovative approach to large-gauge knitting that Twinkle is famous for, along with easy-to-follow directions. No library descriptions found. |
