Customer Reviews

Beautiful, if simple

I was surprised that this book has gotten so many poor customer reviews. I am quite satisfied with it. The author and description did not promise complex pieces, so I don't understand why people were so disappointed that most of the items in the book are fairly simple to knit. Although most of the projects are easy, there are definitely some more difficult ones, such as the wedding dress (which is gorgeous, and I am considering making it in color to wear as a formal gown). The simpler projects are also charming-- I am planning on making the Belted Tunic Dress for myself, and I have already put the book to work in its true purpose by making the weekend bags for my cousin's wedding. The Sexy Nightie, Honeymoon Sweater, and Wedding Night Robe are also all projects I would consider making. This book is not for those looking for extremely complex knitting, but anyone who likes Suss Cousin's signature simple but stylish knits will enjoy this book.

Weddiing Knits

Has a variety of projects for the wedding party and bride. I found just what I needed and more.

Clean designs and luxurious yarns

I'm surprised at the other bad reviews too. I really like it. I'm not getting married, but this book is full of chic sweaters, shrugs, wraps & tiny purses that are very wearable and nicely fitted. I've leafed through her Hollywood Knits and Home Knits books and THEY seem pretty boring. I've been in her store several times and these knits are totally her style. It's mostly fine knits created from subtly colored, luxury blend yarns using alpaca, mohair, cotton and viscose. It's kind of lame that all the yarns used are from her personal SUSS line, but yardages and material contents are given so that you can make appropriate substitutions. I plan on using different high-end yarns with the patterns to give them a little more pizazz. The designs are unique and classic enough to wear for a long time without being too trendy, so they are worth investing time and money into. I knit up the Bridesmaid Wrap sweater in a variegated light mohair yarn (see pics). I think the styles are versatile enough to personalize in many ways.
