Book Reviews of Sweater Workshop
Book Review: Want to learn to knit? Want to knit better? This helps!
Summary: 5 Stars
This handy book employs the EZ Percentage System, developed by Elizabeth Zimmerman. With a chest measurement and your gauge, you can make nearly any style sweater. But what is even better in The Sweater Workshop is the wonderfully wacky Knitting Sampler. This object, when finished, looks like a windsock or a fish and contains all the types of knitting operations you are likely to encounter when making a sweater, such as various ribbings, belt and cords, decreases, increases, color, cable and lace. The sampler is a very fun project that teaches you the basics you need to know to make nearly anything knitted. After you knit it, you can hang it up (be prepared for many "What the heck is THAT!" questions) and use the sampler as a visual reference for the techniques you may be using. Thankfully, The Sweater Workshop is back in print, so if you want to learn to knit or improve your skills, you are in luck.
Summary of Sweater Workshop
This book teaches creative knitting. Sweaters are knit in one piece -- no seams! -- to the knitter's own set of measurements, enabling knitters to use even hand-spun yarns that never seem to fit a predetermined gauge. The Sweater Workshop provides an alternative for those who wish to knit sweaters of their own designs. The rewards are well-fitting, perfectly constructed seamless sweaters knit from any yarn.Crafts & Hobbies Books
