Review by Library Journal Review

The "Twisted Sisters" who inspired this book-along with Vogel's The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook-originated as a Portland, OR, group of handspinners that dyes and knits using its own handspun yarns. Taking the form of a self-paced workshop, this practical guide to knitwear design, like Ann Budd's The Knitter's Handy Guide to Sweater Patterns, teaches sweater-knitting techniques to be used with any yarn or body type. But it goes even further, instructing readers on doing the math and working from a list of measurements called a fitter list, which records all key sweater measurements and is the basis of the sweater map (an annotated knitting schematic). Essential for libraries with strong knitting collections. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
