review 1: I have Ann Budd's other two Knitter's Handy Books and have used them both extensively. This top-down sweater book is in the same vein: easily-adaptable basic patterns in all gauges and sizes, from toddler to adult. She includes directions for both cardigans and pullovers (or jumpers, for you Brits), and variations for necklines, bottoms, and cuffs. She has a few detailed patterns, too, but they're not the best part of the book. The best part is taking the basic patterns and switching them up to make your sweater your own original creation.
review 2: Wonderful, wonderful book. But I expected nothing less. I own many of Ann Budd's books and not only is her writing very clear and concise, but she doesn't just give you some patterns and then that's the end of it. W... morehen you finish one of her books, you've learned so much about the hows and whys of knitwear construction, that you're empowered to design your own items. You're left with an exhilarating feeling of all the endless possibilities there are for your new found knowledge - what more could you ask from a knitting book?! less
