    my first knitting pattern book
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2009*

I love the big city knits book, and made several projects from it: marilyn jacket, karate sweater, diamond scarf, the fingerless gloves, the pilot hat, and the hat with the buttons to name a few. I have had  a hard time finding twinkle yarn. The stores in Boston seem to carry small stock of it.  I used "burly spun" yarn for the two sweaters i made from the other book, and "blizzard" yarn for the diamond scarf, since twinkle is scarce to find. And alot of websites that offer the twinkle yarn are often backordered.the marilyn jacket i get tons of compliments on. i used burly spun yarn for it, and it came out beatiful, but is prob a bit more scratchy than twinkle yarn would have been.i gave the pilot hat away as a gift. i used the baby pink to knit it and white buttons. (the large twinkle buttons don't come in all colors, so make sure you check before starting your pattern). And the large twinkle buttons are quite pricey, i think they were like at least $5-$7 ea.also, finding the large gauge needles isn't always that easy. luckily i have built a pretty good collection. but it wasn't easy. for the circular ones i have some of the turbo metal ones with the plastic tubing, and also have the cheapo susan bates ones. for non circular, i have both the cheapo plastic susan bates and also some nice wood ones i won from the twinkle contest. the susan bates circular needles are nice and light, however, the plastic connector seems to come unglued. i guess you can't ask for more since they ARE inexpensive.i like how chia indicated clearly that sizes should be taken based on measured size, not finished size of project. it makes the sizing much clearer.one comment that they could work on would be to have more pictures of the finished product, from more angles on and off the models. and it would be nicer if the picture alongside the pattern was blown up a bit larger.

    Gorgeous and cool
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2007*

I love this book.  Finally, cool knitting without needless complications.  I've been knitting for a very long time, but don't have the time for very complicated patterns or very fine wool -life and my other crafts get in the way.  So although I buy VK and IK, I actually use very little of their patterns, as often they are SO complicated - and sometimes, it just seems like needless technicalities for not much effect.The photos are also very stylish - think Elle or MarieClaire.  There are some errors, like ALL my other knitting books.  These can be downloaded from classic elite's site.One thing I've noticed from these reviews - a lot of people don't seem to have looked at the book properly.  I had the same reaction when I first opened it and looked at the patterns and the knitted measurements - tiny!  But in her intro she gives the range of sizes, which go up to a 38 bust, and states that one has to go by the size one wants, not by the knitted meaurements, as these sweaters are meant to stretch to fit - thus reducing the bulk of thick yarn.  (In fact, when I knit rowan patterns for bulky yarn, I usually go down at least one size to get the same effect).I think this book has had a lot of needless criticism.  Sure, it has mistakes and limited range of sizes.  Very few books don't.  But this one seems to have provoked more than it's fair share, and I wonder why.I've almost finished the hoody.  I first made it in the large, but had to frog it as it was too big - although I am a 38.....  the construction is so cool, and there's hardly any sweing up to do - you gotta love that.

    Every Knitting Book Doesn't Have to Work for Everybody
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2007*

Let's get directly to the point.  Twinkle's Big City Knits is not for everybody but then again neither is Neiman Marcus, Barney's, Banana Republic, Anthropologie or the Gap.  Let's get real people.  The knits in this book are clearly geared toward the smaller knitter.  And that is okay.  There are knitters who are smaller. And by the way, fashion models are suppose to be skinny.  They are a sample size and samples are a size 2.  This woman is a clothes designer who is probably used to working with sample size and her clothes are sized for 0 to 12.  If you read Vogue and Elle, these sizes aren't that shocking.  By the way, clunky knits like the one's in this book, look better on thinner girls.  Larger women would not want to add that much bulk.Now that we've got that at the way, let's talk about the book.  The book design is very nice, the sweaters are very pretty. The sizing however is not typical of what is usually shown in knitting books and is therefore confusing. I believe Wenlan is giving measurements for blocking but I found this method confusing.I haven't tried knitting anything yet but I've got a couple marked for my daughters and I might try resizing one for myself but I'd go for a less bulky yarn.
