The Yarn Girls' Guide to Knits for All Seasons: Sweaters ... (ISBN 0307345947)

classic patterns:
The patterns in this book are lovely, classic patterns. The main problem is that the biggest sizes for women are about 38 to 40 inch finished bust size. I noticed that all the women models wore their garments skin tight so these patterns may be meant to have negative ease but it would be better to have a larger size range.The mens patterns were also nice but were worn much looser. Australian knitters could subsitute 12 ply and 8 ply yarns for many of the patterns.

Nice classic patterns:
I too, am a Yarn girls' groupie, but for me I was dissapointed in this book. I found the patterns to be an everyday run of the mill type that could be found in any other common knitting book. I loved their first two books and feel they are the experts for the "knitting impaired" like me. I was dissapointed there weren't any afghans or throws in the book. Maybe it was their colors and yarn choices I didn't like. I still love them, I still would have bought the book had I seen it in a store. Keep up the good work girls, but next time not so dowdy.

Awesome!:
Hands down the best Yarn Girls' book yet. The patterns are stylish and classic, and there are quite a few men's patterns too. There are several sweaters that I can't wait to get started on!

Another good book from the Yarn Girls:
I have always had good luck with projects from the previous Yarn Girls' books, and this one looks good, too. I haven't tried any of the projects yet, but there is a nice variety. Their instructions are always easy to follow, and the styles are fun to wear. I wish they would include a little more shaping, especially in the waist area, but overall, I think the patterns are great.

A great book for any knitting level of expertise:
I liked this book a lot. It has patterns in it for every skill level, and the designs are very flattering and chic. Easy to understand and substitute the yarns as well.
