Recently I bought 2 new knitting books and I thought I would share my thoughts. I actually pre-ordered this first book, Knitting it Old School by Stitchy McYarnpants and Caro Sheridan from amazon, and was excited about it. When it finally came in the mail it was a bit of a let down, ok maybe a big let down. It is a very good concept and the cover design is very cute, but do not be fooled by the cover. Out of 41 patterns, I actually liked 3, and out of those 3 only 1 would be wearable for my body style.

| Swing Time by Kirsten Kapur Everything she makes is gorgeous so it is no surprise this is too Just not good for me boobs + ribbing = BIG NO |
 |
| Saucy Convertible by Marnie MacLean Very cute, it would just make me nervous because of the bra problems. I also want that pillow! |
 |
| St. Moritz by Snowden Becker This is my favorite and the only thing that is wearable for me. Ok and now for just some of the bad ones.  |
 |
| The fastest way to make a guy break up with you...matching sweaters. |
 |
| crochet cameltoe yes please! |
 |
| This girl must have wanted to kill herself. |
I left out some other gems, a men's sweater with a giant intarsia stag, like a bunch of speed racer sweaters, 2 Trekkie sweaters. I like kitchy things but you have to draw a line somewhere, and this book can be a bit ridiculous. I'm sorry, it is just my opinion.
Tomorrow I will post another new book review.
