Summary: would prefer more gloves than mittens
Review: Have not knitted any of the patterns in this book, because I'm waiting for the weather to get colder here in California. Seems like a nice introduction to the construction and techniques, though.

Summary: Don't buy it
Review: I am not saying that it is a terrible book, I'm just saying that, most of the similar desgins in the book you could probably download it for free on the internet.
(means they are either too simple or not original).

Summary: Back to the library
Review: I borrowed this book from the library, and I'm bringing it back. Maybe it's just my taste, but I think most of the items in here are either quite ugly or too simple. Just look at the cover - those kinds of designs I place in the ugly category. An example of an overly simple patterns are the two-needle mittens with side seam gores. There are also some extreme patterns in here, such as the fingerless gloves, mittens with a separate compartment for the index finger, and the Peruvian gloves which use 7 different colors. Overall, there are 9 mitten patterns and 10 glove patterns. Only one pattern is for kids, and the rest are for various women's sizes, from XS to L.

I couldn't find even one pattern to catch my attention in this book. The really simple-looking items had oddly shaped tops and thumbs to also make them simple to knit. The complicated-looking items were just ugly. My advice is to take a look at the patterns in the library or bookstore first, before purchasing.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I think the book is overpriced for the content and originality it contains. I have many others I will use before I use this one. It is a slick presentation, but to my mind, not a good value for the price.

Summary: I just love these Vogue Knitting on the Go series books
Review: Nothing like a hat or mitten project for a plane trip. And this book fits into your bag so easily. Plenty of variety here, fashionable designs, cool colors. In short, a winner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Way to Start Knitting Mittens
Review: This book has one of the two best patterns I know of for lerning to knit mittens. It also has an excellent basic glove pattern. It is another really wonderful addition to this series of books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice book with ugly, ugly cover
Review: What were they thinking with the hideous oven mits on the cover? Ugh! Don't let that scare you away, though. There are quite a few nice little patterns in this book. Patterns use straight and DPN needles and range from beginner to intermediate. The photo's are nice and instructions pretty good. I think it's a nice collection & a sweet little book to stuff in your bag and go at 7 1/4 inches tall.
