Vogue Knitting on the Go: Baby Knits (Vogue Knitting On The Go)

Summary: Baby Knits
Review: As an avid knitter, I am enjoying this book very much. My best friend just had a baby girl and I love all of the patterns. The only thing that disappointed me is that they did not show a yarn sample like "Vogue Knitting" magazine does. (That really helps when selecting your yarn). Otherwise, I love it!

Summary: I'd knit every one of the projects in this book
Review: Ever notice that most knitting books double as coffee table tomes? VK had the ingenious idea of bookes sized to fit in your knitting bag. And they're by topic--hats, socks, pillows. Snap up every one, each is chockablock with a comprehesive range of patterns. Baby Knits has rompers, cardigans, sunsuits...a compendium of the best baby patterns VK has to offer in an eminnently useable format: color photos of the project, illustration of the garment shape,clear, accurate directions. Knitting stores can't keep these on the shelves (at least the one I worked at coudn't), so ordering from Amazon is a good idea. Really, this book and the others in the series are the best thing that's happened to knitting books in a long time. I want to knit most of the patterns in this book, and the same goes for VK Socks.

Summary: A great book from a great series
Review: I have bought several of the Vogue Knitting on the Go books, and have liked them all. This is no exception. The pictures are large and clear, and the directions are very straightforward. The designs included are charming, and it is easy to find a project that is appealing. The book is also compact, and easily carried. What more could a knitter ask for?

Summary: Great selection of patterns for children
Review: I have made the baby girl's chenille princess coat from this book. The directions were excellent. They gave you easy to read instructions, graphs, and sizing to assist the knitter through the project. The other directions are of the same quality; however, I found some of the patterns rather disheartening for the price. Frankly, some of the patterns are very wild and unbecoming on children. The patterns are also very serviceable, regular patterns with not a lot of flair and design. They are simply put-- the classics of children's wear. I suggest buying it from Amazon, as I paid full price for it and it certainly is not worth 12.95. All in all, I think it is an "okay" book to have in one's knitting collection. I myself could not resist that little chenille coat! Were it not for this pattern, I would not have bought this book!

Review: Seeing this book makes me wonder what they will come up with for the toddler and teens books. I really liked the inclusion of the toy panda. Would have been nice to have some custom booties patterns.

Summary: The title is perhaps a bit misleading.
Review: This is my first in the "Knitting on the Go" series, and I had expected the designs to be somewhat less complicated. While small enough to fit into your bag and carry along, most of them are too involved to pick up and work while waiting on line. That said, its still a nice book, some awfully cute patterns, particularily for little girls. The chenille princess coat and the silk party dress are especially lovely -- though be prepared to make some yarn substitutions or take out a second mortgage on the house.
