The Knitting Experience: The Purl Stitch (Knitting Experience Series, Book 2) review:
3 stars (AN ERROR IN HER KNITTING INSTRUCTIONS) - ATTENTION KNITTERS: **VERY IMPORTANT!**



I am currently knitting from BOOK 2: THE PURL STITCH EXPERIENCE.

The pattern I am knitting is: To-The Cottage Pullovers (Pgs. 136 through 139). After spending LONG hours trying to get the 3-block pattern for 76 stitches, I realize after not being able to sleep through the night thinking about it, THERE IS AN ERROR IN HER INSTRUCTION. For those who will be knitting this pattern, on pages 137 * 148, 3-block pattern chart, CORRECTION IS:

rows 13, 15, 17, 19 (RS) K8, *P8, K8, repeat from * to 8 sts remaining, P8



There are a few sweater patterns using this 3-block plattern, so BEWARE AND READ CAREFULLY before you get frustrated like I did. Knitting a guage was no problem. The problem arised when I was acutally knitting the swetaer. The publisher should correct this and send me a new copy FREE OF CHARGE!



any questions relating to this 3-block pattern, write to graphicprd@sbcglobal.net



Thank you
5 stars (Another winner) - The Purl Stitch is a beautifully illustrated, easy to follow guide to producing intricate-looking garments using simple techniques and readily available yarns. Having used the first volume in the series, The Knit Stitch, I was happy to find that this second book is just as valuable. One of its best features is the presentation of photos of the same garment done in different yarns and sizes. Patterns are accurate and adaptable, and I find that they stimulate my creativity and interest in customizing them. Though I've been knitting for more than twenty years, the simplicity is far from boring. The Purl Stitch is one of my most useful references, one that I return to time and again.
5 stars (A sense of Passion and Elegance) - I feel a harmony with Sally while reading her books. As a man, there aren't many books written to men and knitting. The meditations are appropriate for this art. I especially love her second book, and feel that it has guided me to becoming an intermediate knitter. I very much hope, there is truth to the rumor, of a third book with a Greecian perspective toward knitting. I myself, a man, have evolved from a mediocre knitter to a "passionatepurl-stich ophile". Sally writes with a "Carpe Diem" sense that I absolutely love; I think if she wrote something as ordinary as "Creative Art with Muench Yarn", I would still feel the richness and passion of her writing style.
