Product Description
Educating knitters about fine yarns, this information-packed book features more than 20 stylish and contemporary projects to knit with lightweight yarns. Knitters will learn what fine yarns are, the many advantages of knitting with them, plus tips and techniques to make the knitting process even more enjoyable. Perfect for all skill levels, the projects in this guidebook show that garments knitted with thin yarns not only fit more precisely, but are more flattering to the figure and feel better against the skin. They also offer more versatility for fashion elements such as ruching, ruffles, gauzy layers, and drape. Crafters will find stylish and contemporary patterns, including a drapy silk top, a supple zippered cable hoodie, a bamboo skirt with stunning drape, a bohus-inspired pullover, a wrap dress, a ruffled scarf, and much more.

Ever buy a book for one pattern? Guilty! July 21, 2008
I had flipped this book and decided I wasn't interested since I hate wrap sweaters and knitted skirts. Some of the other things were sweet but not remarkable. I paged through one more time and then ...ACK!... I was bitten by the Anemone Beret. The pattern is lovely. The stitch looks like Broomstick Lace (crochet) but it IS knit. Long story short, bought the book and have made 3 of these berets. A four hour search of my Barbara Walker books found the stitch but I'd have never remembered it in this way. Kudos to Myers and Sulcoski (I think she did the beret pattern) for reeling me in!
 Fine Gauge Knitting is So Fine July 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love this book for the ideas and the gauge information for fancy patterned knits. I would much prefer to work with fingering than with bulky yarns and there are very few collections in books for fingering, so this was a pleasant surprise. I usually don't follow any particular pattern wholly, but end up designing my own adaptations. This book will be no different for me, but there are some nice ideas and this is a welcome addition to my library.
Awesome book July 7, 2008

I love this book. It has so many beautiful patterns it is hard to decide which one to knit first. I prefer knitting with finer yarns so this book fits the bill. I highly recommend it.
 great technical info but frumpy pattern designs July 7, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I love knitting with fine yarns because they are more flattering and offer greater design options. The technical tips and info in this book do a great job explaining all this. However, the designs of the patterns offered do not live up to expectations. Fitted eighties clothes would be a good description. The majority of the patterns offered are frumpy and pedestrian. I am sure that better color choices in the samples would have helped and better photography could have sold it. The cover shot is as good as it gets. The book is not worthless but it is not particularly inspiring either. Others write that the patterns are well written. Since I am not intrigued to start any, I cannot comment. Very Disappointed!
Love it! July 4, 2008

I want to knit every project in this book and have cast on 2 and queued most of the others already. Truly a good value; think how much all those separate patterns would cost!
