Review on ๐Ÿงถ Unlock Your Creative Potential with Custom Knits: Empowering Your Inner Designer through Top-Down and Improvisational Techniques by Kelsey Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Awesome new book

I have been reading Wendy's blog for many years and had high hopes for this book. You haven't let me down. i love this book It is full of many patterns that any woman or young man would love to knit. The best part is that each pattern has a DIY section that explains how to change the neckline, length, or sleeve length. The book is divided into sections so you have a couple of top-down raglan sweaters, a couple of yokes, set-in sleeves and even a saddle collar sweater. At the very end of the book it explains how you can modify and create your own knitwear using existing patterns or just create designs on the fly using your inspiration and creativity. This book could easily pass as knitting instructions with a designer. Love it, it will sit alongside all my favorite Elizabeth Zimmerman and Nancy Bush knitting books. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the awesome section on how to make your own tape bust. I first saw this on craftster.org and various other sites a while back and it's great to see a very good tutorial to keep in my book collection and not have to worry about the link disappearing . Great work Wendy! I cant wait any longer.
