Weekend Knitting : 50 Unique Projects and Ideas review:3 stars (Caveat knitter!) - Or, buyer beware. First off, as was already stated in many of these reviews, this book is not for a new knitter. At all. The patterns are not impossible, and some of them are pretty easy. I am an experienced knitter and some of the patterns, like the flower washcloth, were easy to do, easy to understand, and quick to knit. The patterns, overall, were lovely to look at and the photography in this book was amazing. Interspersing the knitting with suggestions (recipes, etc.) was a cute idea.

The caveat is this: the projects in this book are not weekend projects, nor are they cheap. You can substitute, but let's be serious for a moment. A weekend cashmere sweater? In my dreams. This is a book for the knitter with time and money. If, like me, you fall into the other category, this is probably not your book. Part of me wants to give this book just one star because it is one of the most misleading titles for a book I have ever seen. The other part won't rate it low because there were some neat ideas but frankly, very little in there I would actually knit. I would be more likely to design a sweater than pick one from this idyllic-weekend-in-the-Berkshires book.

One more thing - this book has egg cozies and elf slippers and tiny tiny finger puppets that would be cute to me if they weren't knit on 00 needles using 3 or 4 colors and cozy sweaters that would be awesome - just awesome - if you can spend your weekend uninteruppted by phone calls, dogs, kids, visitors, your boyfriend's friends waltzing in at 2 o'clock Sunday for breakfast, or... you get the idea. If you have to have a sweater egg cozy for your soft boiled egg, you need this book. If you can live without one, you can probably live without this book. 2 stars (Much harder than described) - I have other books by Falick that are much easier and less time intensive. These projects could only be done in a weekend if your weekend lasts 30 days! The main problem is that most require very small needles, which just cannot be rushed. You better really like the patterns for the time investment needed to finish these. These are NOT for the beginner.5 stars (Good book - not for beginners) - Why do people rate books like these down because they are not for a new knitter? It is a great book with easy to challenging patterns that I use all the time. And to anyone who thinks that there are typos in the book, think again. I have read this book many times and not found a single typo. Maybe they are confused with knitting abbreviations, which can be confusing.

m=marker pm=place marker St=stockinette st=stitch dpn=double pointed needle CO=cast on BO=bind off

There are a lot more, so just do your best to decipher them if you don't know what they mean. Anyway, thus ends my Kid's Review of "Weekend Knitting." (By the way, the patterns are really fun.)
