1: Pretty picture but hard to follow
Just my 2 cents but I thought this was full of pretty pictures but hard to follow the formula they give to make your own patterns. Not my favorite knitting book and wish I had skipped buying it. Pretty cover though....

2: Great organization and great suggestions
I have never knit a sweater before buying this book. This book is very well laid out and offers information in a form and layout that does not overwhelm the first time sweater knitter. I think it is also in depth enough that experienced sweater knitters will also enjoy it. The patterns are interesting and intriguing. The explanations are very clear and accessible. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is interested in sweater knitting.

3: Wonderful Book!
The book stretches your creativity and challenges you to make something beautiful that is entirely your own. The sections of information on how to measure and determine guage, yardage, etc. are worth the price alone. I loved the side-to-side garments, but then, I loved the entire book. The colors and textures are inspiring.

4: Deceptive title
Title is "Knit-to-fit workshop" but there is nothing in this book about custom tailoring or shaping; i.e., how to fit a handknit garment. Basically, this is a collection of pretty pictures of--IMHO--uninteresting garments on models a couple sizes too small, making them rather unattractive (the sweaters AND to a lesser extent, the models).

5: great for making your own style of sweaters
THis was even better than the sock book, I can't wait for the next book from them!
