“Classic Knits for Real Women”

Storey, Martin, Sharon Brant, and Peter Williams. Classic Knits for Real Women: Versatile Knitwear Designs for plus Sizes. Lafayette, CA.: C&T Pub., 2005. Print.

This is a perfect example of a book I’m glad I got from the library, rather than buying, and I’m glad to have access to a library system that has lots of books like this.  Which is not to say that I liked it – in fact, I “read” it in about 20 minutes, and was done with it.  There were no patterns of any interest to me, and not really any new ideas I could glean from it.  I wasn’t convinced that any of the patterns were particularly suited to plus sizes; as far as I could tell, they were regular knitting patterns sized up.
