Title: sadly, no charts
Product review: I think there are many good fairly fine-gauge sweaters in this book that I would knit, with a few exceptions (there isn't anything in this book thicker than worsted, so no quick knits here.) Many of them are highly textured, but sadly, there are no charts. And since I'm a _very_ visual person, it just makes it that much harder to get the get-up and do one of these timeless designs. I'm working on my own charts so I'll actually know what I'm doing where on the cover sweater, but... I feel like I shouldn't have to.There are thirteen designs, and nine of them are highly textured, meaning to me, that I can't just put it down, go back later, look at it, and figure out where in the pattern I am. That, on more than a few sweaters, the design has no waist shaping, but it looks flattering on the models, showing curves nicely and disguising drop-shoulders. I don't go about with a clothespin in the middle of my back, and neither should the models. Gah.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
