Customer Reviews

Nice Designs, but charts are too big & hard to read!
I have to concur with the other reviews-- most of the charts are too large to use with an 8mm kniting machine or with hand-knitting. I like the idea that they are trying to show the grid-lines, because I sometimes had trouble with the charts in "The tap-Dancing Lizard", trying to figure out exactly how many stitches were in a large block of color. However, I think it could have been done better, in a way that was easier to read. Also, I wish the grid was marked with a heavier or colored line every five or ten stitches. Some of the designs are lovely, but simply too big for me to use unless I were making something huge like a blanket!

Hard to read the charts
What were they thinking when they made the contrast so hard to read? What's wrong with black and white? The designs are attractive, but you'll go blind trying to reproduce them. Did I mention that the charts are hard to read?

Not as good as their previous books
This duo's previous books were packed with charts and ideas, but unfortunately Enchanted Knitting is a comparatively slim volume. The charts are nice, but there are many less, and many are too large to use on a 60st electronic card -- so if you don't have 200st programming capability, you'll be a bit out of luck. They reprise their "coat" pattern, with a few refinements, but otherwise, the patterns are not much to write home about. All in all, buy it if you are looking to spend some money -- but if you skip it, don't feel too deprived!
