Knitting cuff to cuff

I bought this book to learn how to knit a sweater cuff to cuff. I was successful. The patterns include sweaters for women, men, kids, sweaters and sweater coats. Models are available in the following sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL. The design is simple and classic. It's not easy to date her in a decade. For people who need sweaters that can be worn for a long time and don't worry about keeping up with fashion, this design is a good choice.

Pros
  • A Sea of Positive Emotions
Cons
  • No show

Another study guide you should have

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write later

I've seen cuff-to-cuff garter sweaters that look nice because of the vertical stripes created by the stitch, but a side knit stitch makes the stitch look weird. The sweaters themselves look ill-tailored to my somewhat jaded eye: blocky, shapeless, and not what I would wear. A quick read of the book willโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
