In the Author's Words.....
"Given here is my personal outlook on the subject of successfully planning and creating beautiful knitted garments, which will complement your wardrobe and your life. Many important considerations for choices made while designing also apply to general knitting practices; they encourage wise selections of patterns and yarns that are best suited to body type, lifestyle, and personality."(pg 2)
From the Introduction.....
"The intention of this book is not only to teach the development of original knitting patterns, but also to encourage the careful planning of every knitting project. This step is equally important whether working from an original design or from a published knitting pattern, to produce useful items you can wear as an integral part of your everyday wardrobe. Many factors contribute to the planning and construction of a sweater; what I have learned, from my experience of designing numerous successful garments, is what I hope to share with you."
