The Little Box of Sweaters

I have not yet begun to knit the sweaters from the book but this is a very nice collection of do-able projects. The box actually has cards inside, each with a picture and knitting instructions of one sweater. The sweaters are beautiful. There are 20 sweaters to knit. My problem with the box is that, while the box is a little less than an inch thick, the box is only 1/2 filled with sweater instructions and the other half full of a cardboard filler. However, it does say on the outside that there are 20 patterns -- so I guess it does not matter. The sweaters are for the most part traditional, nothing weird. All are women's sweaters. A few of them are a little form fitting on the manequin in the picture, but knit a little larger and they would be okay on us fuller figured gals.

I love this box of sweaters and scarves. It is great to be able to put each pattern card in my knitting bag, and always have the pattern handy! I have always been a big fan of Matthay's designs. I hope there will be more box set's comming! These are the perfect gift for any knitter.

I am a new knitter in the last year, and I love this little box. The format is so easy to use, and the cards are so professionally boxed. The sweaters are just right for me. For example, the classic shell is just that -- classic -- and classy. Easy maybe, yes, but sharp. Bound to get compliments; I did! I'm new to cabling, but the braided shell was a great way to start. Again, I get compliments on all my sweaters. Now I'm thinking ahead to winter. Pockets and Ribs, I think, will be my next project. My knitting mentor tells me I'm ready to tackle just about anything, but I like simple, classic styles. This sweater will be one of my wear everywhere tops.Thanks Melissa and Sheryl. Keep the books and boxes coming.

I love the idea of this book. The patterns are on cards that you can take out of the box and slip in your knitting bag to lighten your load. The patterns are fun, use interesting yarn and most look like they will knit up fast. This is a great selection for someone looking to make their first sweater, or an advanced knitter looking to knit something up quickly.
