Pretty Knits

When buying a book of patterns it is often being purchased just for one pattern that you have seen and like so much that you are prepared to pay the book price. I thought that was going to be the case when buying this book as I was purchasing it just for the Shell pattern knitted in Venus yarn (how pretty is that Shell?)but was pleasantly surprised to find a few other patterns that have caught my eye and that, along with the very reasonable price paid, has made this book a bargain. Probably one of my better purchases.

Exquisite

This book has the most exquisite photography and a very, very nice assortment of patterns.

Fine Gauge Knitting

This book is has many designs devoted to fine gauge knitting, from fingering to DK. The designs are classic and there are well crafted close-ups of details for each sweater. It's a pleasure to see a book with fine gauge yarns for adult women.

Lovely pullovers, tunics, and even the usually-dull cardigan sweater can be changed radically throug

Can the basic sweater pattern be changed into gorgeous, quick-knit garments which are fun to wear? Yes: especially if they can be transformed through different yarn types and pattern stitches, as in Perfectly Brilliant Knits. Lovely pullovers, tunics, and even the usually-dull cardigan sweater can be changed radically through pattern and yarn choice: these knits are anything but ordinary.

Perfectly Brilliant Knits

Melissa and Sheryl have been doing great work but this is their best book of sweater designs yet! I particularly like their jacket patterns and the fuschia pullover pattern. Styles are easy and relatively fast to knit yet creative. I also think that Melissa's points are a hoot.
