Title: Increasing is too hard?
Review: The author says that she avoids body hugging shapes because they're just not urban. OK. Fine. We'll ignore, for a moment, that more fitted pieces LOOK better (even on plus sized folks!) and boxy shapes make you look BOXY.She also writes that she prefers to start with ALL the stitches and decrease down because increasing (in knitting) is just too darn hard. What?She calls fair isle or stranded knitting "intarsia," which it's not.For a "knitter's" book, there is a TON of crochet. And not just as accents or edging, but whole projects made with only crochet.Skip this one. It seems to be a book written to cash in on the knitting frenzy (down to calling a mostly crochet book a knitting book) and it's got too many errors in it.
