I have this book and love the patterns, but hadn't read the beginning stuff. Your review made me want to go home and read it all! Especially the tips for staying motivated! Kat with a Ks last blog post..First thoughts on Sarah Palin

@ Maria–Well, that’s true, but all that really means to me is that the percentage is different, but the picture is trying to make a point–and sometimes you need to exaggerate to do so. Obviously, the difference on Barbie is greater than on an actual human, but there’s no question that a chunky, cabled sweater is going to make a person look like she’s just gained weight, while a lightweight, properly fitted one will be slimming.

Oh, and thanks for the shoe link–they’re kind of out of my price range, though (grin).

I think the Barbie comparison is actually a bit of a fallacy. The size of that skinny yarn in comparison to her measurements is about the same as the size of a CHUNKY yarn compared to actual human measurements. ~_^

And I found your shoe pattern:

[...] Today’s review, by the way? Knit So Fine by Lisa R. Myers, Laura Grutzeck, and Carol Sulcoski The self-professed aim for this book, as stated by the authors: “Skinny yarns get a really bad rap. Knitters have somehow gotten the idea that they’re slow, fussy, or old-fashioned. We’re here to prove otherwise. Thin yarns offer a world of possibilities; in fact, they can do anything a thick yarn can do and more–and often, they do it better.” Well! As a fan of not-chunky yarns myself, this is definitely an objective I can get behind! [...]

I have a pattern booklet or two with fine-gauge patterns and I agree - they look so much better! You've left me more intrigued by this book than I was before. Chriss last blog post..In which I report on a lot of reading and a very little bit of knitting
