Book Reviews of Mason-Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines: Patterns, Stories, Pictures, True Confessions, Tricky Bits, Whole New Worlds, and Familiar Ones, Too
Book Review: A Bit of A Disappointment
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved the first Mason-Dixon book and was looking forward to their second book with great excitement. But I have to say I'm a little disappointed in it.
There are some nice things...the Daily sweater, the diaphanous mohair sweater, the mohair shawl, one of the coat sweaters, the Mystery Sweater. All those are in the first section and after that, I'm afraid my enthusiasm runs down rapidly. I have no kids/tweens to knit for. God knows, I'm not going to be knitting cuffs for rubber gloves or cozies for paper lanterns...or table runners or mop covers.
I found the first book to be really inspirational...there were designs that just got the reader thinking, "What about doing this? Could you do a log cabin this way? What if you did the rag rug using plastic bags?" The book just didn't give me the same creative jolt that the first one did.
But the writing is still charming (I loved the Kay and Ann's color wheels) and I'm not sorry I bought the book. Just a little sad that the zing of inspiration isn't there for me.
