Review on ๐Ÿงถ Optimized Norwegian Knitting Patterns by Jessica Lewis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Small Charts

The sweaters in this book are some of the prettiest I've seen and are well worth the price. Anyone who likes colorful knitting is well advised to read this book. However, the photos are more landscapes than sweaters. Parts of some sweaters are difficult to see due to the position of the models or the distance from the camera. Also, the charts are incredibly small and hard to see. The book measures 12 inches high and 10 inches wide, the model Jumfru vest table is 5 inches high (!) and the largest sweater tables are 8.5 inches high. Some sweaters are knit in dark colors so the chart squares are almost invisible. A lot of people on Ravelry complained, that they had to put on glasses and copy oversized diagrams in order to be able to read them properly for knitting. So if you like knitting and can tolerate patterns, buy this book. I will try to sort them because there are some cool sweaters here.
