"The emphasis here (that I missed) is on Sweater DESIGN. Not "how do I make a sweater from a pattern" but "how do I design my own sweater?" I'm not there yet, but it was still an informative and easy read, especially the first half. It inspired me to also read her boook Knitting in Plain English, which has a newer edition - hopefully they will do that soon with this book, because the painfully ugly bulky sweaters get in the way of her good style advice."
