Book Reviews of More Big Girl Knits: 25 Designs Full of Color and Texture for Curvy Women
Book Review: A Sad Book for Big Girls
Summary: 1 Stars
I actually purchased this book a while ago and I should have reviewed it sooner--when the hideosity of it was still fresh in my mind. Needless to say, I returned it immediately, even going so far as to site it as "defective" because it was so ugly! So seeing the other reviews I'm confused as to why it is rated so highly...
The main problem I had with this book was that the patterns were simple and unimaginative--and not at all flattering. The first book seemed to emphasize flattering a "big girl's" positive body traits but in this book it was like they knitted tents and pulled them over their heads. One pattern, the big girl's "rolls" could be seen through the lace patterning. I was appalled--NO FULL-FIGURED WOMAN SHOULD EVER LET HER ROLLS BE SEEN! HELLO?!?!
All in all, this book was a ghastly collage of ill-fitting and poorly thought of designs for full women. It made the models look douty and matronly and I'm pretty sure that no big girl wants to look like these women did.
Moreno, Singer--get it together--you could have been more creative. You two look like full-figured girls who feel confident--do you want to be seen in colorful potato sacks??
