I am in love with this book and the designs within.

It is jam packed with 20 designs in a huge

array of sizes.

Martin was takes with designing a knitwear range for

larger sizes that would still look elegant.

I can honestly say he has achieved this.

He has not just designed the knits to be worn by one

shape of woman but he has purposely looked at designs

that work with different shapes.

He even found that once they came to photographing the designs

that even a size 12 stylist looked good in the designs as well

as the size 16 model.

  

The book includes designs for;

Wrap's

Shrug's

Bolero

Cape

Tunic's

Cardigan's

Coat

Waistcoat

Slipover

Sweater

Hat

Finger-less gloves.

  

The first section of the book is made up

of pictures of the designs.

There are amazing pictures showing the garments worn

and detailed pictures of the designs.

The second half of the book is made up of the patterns.

The patterns are in written format but charts for repeating rows

are included to help you to complete the project.

Sizing guides are also included so you can make sure

your garment will fit. 

All of the designs are made with Rowan yarn but they

are a varied mix.

The different types of yarn used give a whole wide of effects

with the designs.

Each design has it's something to make it special

but comfort is also thought about in each of the garments.

 

I personally think that the designs are so special

that they are brilliant gifts for family and friends.

Martin really has put his knowledge to fantastic use.

This is a special book.
