review 1: I don't know much about knitting, but I have friends who do. I also have friends who knit who hate Twilight with the flaming passion of a thousand burning suns, so when I saw this, I had to look at it. There seems to be an overabundance of mittens in this book; I'm not sure why. I've always been a fan of vampires in literature, and I don't recall much in regards to how the absence or presence of mittens added to the plot.The photos in the book are nice, though the male sweater model looks like he longs for a quick and pointy stake to the heart at any moment... The sooner, the better.
review 2: I am slightly ashamed for picking up this book... I had found a free pattern snippet from this book a few months back, and I had thought to myself, "Oh maybe if I see... more this in the library, I'll get it because I wouldn't mind whipping up some Victorian- style projects." Turns out, I almost cried reading the summary in the car on the way home from the library. It's knitting for the Twilight obsessed. I was not surprised to see the author pretty much thanking Stephanie Meyer for saving her life from being dull with her just plain human guy husband. Nor was I surprised with the Twilight trivia quizzes halfway through the book. It was just plain freaking sad. I read it again after first writing my reveiw. Considering, this time, I actually read the patterns for what they were, patterns. I put the obsessive Twilight people to the back of my mind, and pushed forward my new love of Victorian fashon. There were a handful of some of the most beautiful pieces I've seen. Some of them from a few of my favorite knitwear designers. I was slightly dissappionted over the few, the sad children's and men's clothing, though, but what kid or guy would wear knitted Twilight stuff? Yes, I was happy for the few decent Victorian-style patterns. No, I did NOT need the obsessive Twilight mom thing. less
