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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful, stylish design

Most of the book consists of a pattern of women's sweaters. They are all knitted in one piece, most top down, which is one of my favorite methods - it's so much easier to try on size, not to mention you don't have to sew the seams later. What you like best is that each design comes with suggestions on how to personalize it and the designs themselves? I find her wonderful. In fact, there aren't any that I would NOT like, although I'm not burning with the desire to pick up knitting needles and knit each one. The last chapter is one of my favorites. It's called Unleash Your Inner Designer and then breaks down the structure of the various top-down designs. What to do with a raglan from top to bottom, what to do with a set-in sleeve from top to bottom - all the necessary calculations and diagrams. Not to mention a very good section with instructions on how to change the neckline or armhole depth to personalize the design. good design but that the author thoughtfully explains what you need to do to make the sweaters more "you". She gives you good designs and then gives you the tools you need to take them to the next level - implicit permission to PLAY, rather than trying to make sure you never deviate from the design she gave you. It seems that there was no index or list of templates, making it difficult to find a specific template later.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
