Publisher Synopsis
"5 out of 5 stars. I really love the designs in this book. All the designs have great body shaping, many with curve-friendly waist shaping and/or empire style waists." -- "Knitting News"<br><br>"A lovely book full of great patterns for women who love romantic knits as well as those who like more of an edge. The book is a great way to learn seamless techniques." -- "About.com Guide to Knitting"<br><br>"So captivating, so conducive to wistful longing that my eyes well up at the thought of it...it's a feast even if you never knit a thing from it, so why deny yourself the pleasure?" -- "Twist Collective"<br><br>"Oh la la! This singular collection drips with je ne sais quoi, its 18 body-conscious pieces revealing both rustic and dans-les-rues influences of French fashion." -- "Yarn Market News"<br><br>"Everything that you'd expect from a knitting book inspired by 'an appreciation of the small, lovely moments in life' that is apparent in the lives of the French. There is beautiful, lush, knitterly photography--closeups of unusual knitting stitches and details, along with vintage inspired interiors and stunning scenery." -- "YARN: The Australian Magazine for Knitting and More"<br><br>"Gorgeous patterns." -- "Blogcritics.org"<br><br>"This is an amazing book to add to your knitting library especially if you love cute little sexy sweaters. There are also a few in here that I would consider great first-time sweaters." -- "Knitty.com"<br><br>"First Reaction: Ooh la la...Classic shapes, but with extra design elements, like lace gussets, or ribbing to provide shape; an unexpected cable, creative closures, or knit-in color work to accent an edge." -- "KnittingScholar.com"<br> Read more...
