Wool Studio The Knitwear Capsule Collection by Meghan Babin
Loved the picture on the front and even more once I read the description of this book. Can't say enough good things about this book.
Love the drape in the high end photographs in this book. Have given away two of my sweaters-long cardigans and am in the market to make new ones and the ideas in this book are just what I needed.
Can't decide to which one to try first. Love that the patterns are easy-easy for me and I love the names of the areas on the West and East coasts as I've been through many.
Some of the pattern names on their respective pages are hard to read-dark on dark print or light on light print.
Introdcution talks about the fun things in this book, the designs and what to expect ahead.
The yarn really makes the drape and flirtiness keeping the style glamourous and feminine I feel.
Each pattern starts out with a brief summary of the item and how it's assembled and worked.
Finished size measurements, yarn to be used and what was used in the finished product, needles required, notions, gauge, and other notes.
Stitch guide also gives details of special stitches in the pattern. Very easy to follow-there is no level rating. Some designs are spelled out row by row and then til what length, some are charted on graph style paper.
Like the diagram of the finished item and how each section has a letter corresponding to the finished measurements.
Cowls I also found so stunning. Love infinity scarves-even have my husband wearing his now for warmth.
Charted patterns are very self explanatory and easy to follow along, be sure to read the whole pattern all the way through before you begin.
Yarn resources are mentioned, love the section on all the designers, they leave me inspired from the work they do. Other works by the designers are highlighted at the end.
Received this review copy from F+W Media via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion.
