Summary: Chunky and simple
Comment: It's usually a good idea to never judge a book by its cover, but in this case the cover gives you a pretty good hint of what's inside. Mostly plain chunky designs, with a little modern flair, the sweaters are probably better suited for the younger (and slimmer) crowd. There is some variety in the patterns - a bag, a hat, a cute child's poncho, and a sequined shawl. The sweaters also have some variety among them, besides the basic stockinette pullover you also get some cabling, some fair isle, argyle, and even a really cute beaded turtleneck. There isn't anything mind-blowing here for an experienced knitter who has done all those techniques before, but a beginner will find here decent explanations and lots of pictures of each technique, plus a fun project in which to apply it. Definitely worth a look.

Summary: disappointing!
Comment: I love working with chunky yarns. Instant gratification. I was so excited when this book came out. Now that I have it I am very disappointed. The patterns are blah! She doesn't give you the pattern for the pink sweater on the front, which is really cute. I found two patterns in the whole book, that I would make. The rest just aren't inspiring. She also showcases a very limited selection of the bulky yarns available. All in all a big disappointment.
