Great patterns, and not just for target audience

Most of these really nice patterns can be successfully altered if you have a decent amount of knitting experience. Their other book, Great Big Knits, has beautiful patterns as well, but most of them cannot easily be altered without some design distortion. Of the two books, Big Knits can be used by more knitters of different sizes.

It's About Time!

This book is for the luxe lady who wants to knit great, excitingly fashionable sweaters, but is stymied by traditional S-M-L pattern books. Dawn French, a favorite from the "Vicar of Dibley" series, and several of her Rubenesque chums model some beautiful sweaters and it looks like they're having a great time. Makes me want to knit them all.I bought the book to find something to knit for my mother (the size thing again), but I may just be knitting a few of these for myself. You'll want this one for your collection.

Beautiful sweater designs, clear instructions, large sizes.

The first knitting pattern book I've seen with large sizes. The designs are beautiful, and the patterns are clear and easy to understand. The yarn information at the end of the book is very helpful.
