Sixth&Spring Books September 1, 2004 4to softcover 144pp near fine. From Booklist: Many knitters will like the styles found in this book, which offers classic styles, such as cable-knit sweater vests and snowflake-patterned ski sweaters, along with the trendy additions of halter tops and sleeveless mock-turtlenecks. The sharp color photographs will inspire knitters to pick up their needles and begin a project. Clothing needed for both summertime and wintertime is found here, and there is an accessories section for scarves, purses, hats and gloves, and socks. The last section, entitled "Crochet Cool," offers updated crocheted looks, and the colorful skirt constructed of crocheted squares stands out. The projects are for beginning and intermediate knitters, with one project for advanced knitters, and all items are clearly marked with the appropriate skill level. Knitting instructions are listed at the back of the book, and a few advanced stitches are illustrated. The patterns are clear and straightforward, and an index of terms and abbreviations is very helpful. Michelle KaskenCopyright © American Library Association.
