solid classic patterns This book has solid classic patterns. Nothing too fashion forward. Some interesting treatments...
Frumpy Another one of those books whose cover is deceiving with a modern and fresh feel but full of recycled and outdated materials inside that leaves you in disbelief after looking through it. ALL the garments in this book---yes, I mean ALL--are frumpy and shapeless. I guess Pam Allen (CE's creative director) was not involved in the creation of this book. Very disappointing.
Best all around knitting book! I am an intermediate knitter with dozens of knitting books. It seems I buy most books because there are 2 or 3 patterns I really love. This book is different. Nearly every pattern is something I would actually make. I've started on one and can't wait to finish so I can get to more of them!
Very disappointing.... Wow! I was so excited about the release date of this item, but when I received it all I saw were sweaters that might look good on my mother (I'm in my late forties). These sweaters look dated and lack imagination. There is very little shaping in these pastel colored items. I have never sent back a knitting book. I sent this back today. Classic Elite Knits could have been so much better, but it's not.
