Sweater 101: How to Plan Sweaters That Fit... and Organize Your Knitting Life At the Same Time



  • I think everyone who knits a sweater needs to buy your book. I think it's wonderful . . . I'm so tired of making sweaters that are too big or too small . . . I have several design books and they are all so complicated, this book is so straight forward and great for the visual learner. http://madamepurl.com/


Review:
Originally published in 1991, this new edition features the following quote on the back cover: "I had no idea your wonderful book was coming back...hooray. Don't think I've given a workshop in the last 15 years without mentioning you and it." Who said that? Meg Swansen. That's a pretty hefty endorsement!

This is a clean, functional, step-by-step guide to building your own sweater patterns. You don't get out of measuring, but you do get someone guiding you clearly along the path to sweater success time after time. Brunette's approach requires us to take careful notes on design sheets included in the book. She provides standardized schematics for the three basic sweater shapes -- drop-shoulder, set-in sleeve and raglan in chest sizes 30-50" for women, other handy resource sheets, and discusses current trends in sweater design [did you know that raglan sleeves used to come to a sharp point at the top?].

My favorite tip in the book is the proper use of a calculator's memory function. Smart woman, that Cheryl Brunette. --Knitty: Fall 2008, Amy R. Singer
