Review on ๐Ÿงถ Creative Knit Ideas: 20 Inspired Designs for Crafting Sweaters and Accessories by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does not stand out among the newly released knitting books

I agree with the criticism of the instructions of other reviewers, so I will not repeat myself. not as good as some of their designs published in magazines. They are definitely intermediate and not advanced as none of them are particularly difficult. I don't like the cable combinations she uses and I don't think they reflect a particularly good sense of balance and symmetry. However, the overall construction of the clothes of most of them is exquisite. That's Ellis' forte: you won't find too many boxy, shapeless sweaters in her work. I love her sleeves, shoulders and neckline. But that's all. The photo succeeded but in my opinion corresponds neither to the design nor to the topics specified therein. She says she's inspired by nature, but the photos are mostly taken indoors, harsh and sterile in my opinion. I don't like the psychological/philosophical comments on yoga. I feel like she's a little self-conscious, like she thinks she has the answers to every question and puts herself above the reader. I find it annoying and feel like it distracts from the book. knowing the answers to all questions and putting himself above the reader.
