Review on πŸ’ƒ Flirtatious Hand Knit Collection: 26 Romantic Designs to Complement Your Figure by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Graceful knitting can be for full figures!

I received this book in the mail earlier this week and I'm already in love with it. The beautiful full color pages are full of dainty curly jerseys. It has a department for tops, skirts and luxury accessories. Graceful and feminine shapes are reminiscent of the elegant design of the 20s and 30s and earlier eras. However, the best thing about this book is that it includes sizes for larger women, bust sizes up to 48 and 52 inches, and the like. Custom made skirts. The patterns also have sections that tell you how to adjust the length so the clothes are truly yours. The yarn choices are luxurious, and a Cleopatra-inspired design calls for strands of beautiful silk. In the introduction and on the author's website and there are also notes on the page of the book discussing changes and suggesting new yarns for those that have been discontinued. This is not uncommon in knitting patterns, as it appears that the pattern's release will require immediate cessation of use of the yarn. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in "romantic" clothing.
