 Timeless and beautiful from cover to cover December 4, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
One of the reviewers said "timeless classics" and that is THE best review this book can get. Not a single ugly pattern in this book - all of them are timeless, beautiful and perfect. The Forest Path Stole is so beautiful I'd like to wear it on my wedding day (happily enough, seems I still have time to learn how to make it - it's terribly complicated).
At first I was irritated by the "how to knit" sections between patterns, but when I read them it turned out they were detailed, far beyond basics and well worth reading and keeping at hand.
I am not a subscriber of Interweave Knits (much though I would love to) so I haven't seen the patterns before. I don't understand people complaining the book is just a repetition of the magazines - title says it, doesn't it?
To sum up: a beautiful books with beautiful patterns and great technical advice: what else could you want?
handy to have the good patterns all together in one place December 3, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I found that many of the patterns that were my faves are in here -- I'm not a big fan of the super-bright "woman-of-a-certain-age, I'm gonna look like a clown so that everyone can tell this is handmade" type stuff. I think it is nice to have patterns in a more durable format - I love my old copies, but they get more and more fragile with each handling. Kind of like a greatest-hits album; sometimes you just want to get to the good stuff without having to sort through the chaff. I would have liked to see a few kids' patterns in here, since alot of the knitting I do (or would like to find time to do) is for my children.

The Best of Interweave Knits...totally boring and disappointing...NOTHING imaginative. Unless you ADORE this magazine and have NO copies DON'T get this book...you will be disappointed...sorry bout that but I wish I could return it for something better....

I am not much of a writer, but I will say it is a great book, easy instructions, and a great addition to my library of knitting books.
Timeless Classics October 19, 2007

Even though I get the interweave magazine I bought this book. I love the fact that the instructions, guides, and stitch examples are all in one place (sometimes I find it hard to find the exact stitch in old magazine). This book also contains a handful of knitted sweaters that I'm going to have a make. I'm not happy with the 3 shawl patterns that the book contains - but I can get over it since the rest of the patterns are all timeless classics!
