I've been knitting most of my life but I learned so much from this book I couldn't believe it! My finished sweater fit me perfectly and I knew it would be based on the pattern adjustments the book had helped me. It used to be the "breath-holding momentโ when trying on a finished project. No longer. This sweater fits like it was made for me. It was like this. I highly recommend this book to knitters of all levels. I can't wait to make my OWN pattern using Elizabeth's instructions in the book. Have fun knitting.
