review 1: I had to laugh at the photographs in this book. Women on the beach in bikinis and . . . long-sleeved sweaters. Or eating breakfast in underwear . . . and a fancy drop-neck sweater (alongside a tall, dark, built, topless guy, of course). Another example of trying to sell books with women dressed as little as possible. If you can get past the silly photos though, the book has amazing instructions for writing your own patterns and making up your own designs. It has helped me be able to construct a sweater from seeing only a picture of what I want.
review 2: I don't usually buy pattern books. They just don't generally have enough patterns that I like for the price per pattern to work out to a reasonable amount. Custom Knits was the first pattern book I ever b... moreought (and I still only own 3!). The patterns are more like un-patterns and the tips and techniques for modifying top-down sweater constructions are worth the price of the book even if none of the patterns grab you, which is impossible because they are all so timeless and sleek! less
