I've been searching for a book that will give me several patterns (as in I want to make most of the patterns in the book, not one or two) that should likely fit me right off the page, knitted as is. I *think* this is the book. I'm a little disappointed that the book lacks schematics, and the single chart that I've found in the book leaves me a little disappointed. But there was time when I was a strict "write it all out in knitting code" kind of knitter and this book would have been perfect then. Now I look at the code and wonder how long it will take me to schematic/chart the knitting code to make it more rapidly accessible. I *like* patterns to look as if they are one page recipes and not several because then I *think* I won't find the long boring stretches too long or too boring ;o).

Trying to find great knit designs in larger sizes is not always easy.Knitting Goes Large aims to fill the gap by offering a selection of 20 great knits for all occasions and all seasons for larger women with varying figure types. This beautiful collection of plus-size styles will appeal to women who want more generously proportioned garments, and this time, by popular request, the knits go a size or two larger than many other books available. The key designs are by Martin Storey, Wendy Baker, Jennie Atkinson, and Kim Hargreaves, edited by Sharon Brant, coauthor of Rowan's Classic Knits for Real Women. Sharon, a plus-size woman herself, offers an introduction which explains how to make the right pattern choice for your figure type and size, how to amend patterns, for example, should you lengthen or shorten a garment to make the most of your assets, helpful dos and don'ts and tons of advice on garment sizes and shapes, details, textures, and colors that will complement a curvaceous figure. The patterns come in six sizes, starting from size 16, giving a chance for even the most generously-sized women to find something that will suit their figure type. Included are some great contemporary designs, with an emphasis on softly wrapping shapes, which is ideal for fuller figures. Whether you are looking for warm winter jackets, comfortable sweaters, cool, summer cardigans or tunics, neat tops to wear under a suit or pretty evening cover-ups, you will find something to suit your figure and your taste, all in popular, classic Rowan yarns. The designs in this book are perfect for real everyday women looking to sport a comfortable, contemporary style that fits their shape. No library descriptions found. |
