Review on 🧢 A Comprehensive Guide to Knitting in America: Explore Patterns, Profiles, & Stories of America's Premier Artisans by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Nice book but WRONG instructions

I chose a sweater on page 36 and started knitting. It took about fifteen minutes to check the direction and image in the book and realize that they were two completely different sweaters. I liked the intricate photo of the cables, but due to incorrect basic instructions I decided to go no further and ripped out what I had started. If the directions for the first few rows are wrong, the rest of the directions are probably wrong too. It's frustrating when editors and designers don't take the time to compare their instructions to the images in the book.

Pros
  • Sturdy workmanship
Cons
  • Damaged
