Listening to the LibriVox recording.

I'm not sure what to make of this. It was beautifully written as is everything by Waugh, and even the story wasn't too bad, but the ending was heavy handed. I liked it better than I thought I would, but I'm still not sure I really liked it.

What a sweet, beautiful book. The illustrations are wonderful and the little adventure story is wonderful.

I wish this book was less about designing just sweaters and more about design in general, but a lot of the ideas and techniques discussed can be adapted to fit other sorts of designs. There's a lot o good information even if you don't want to only create sweaters.

Interesting book. It's really an introduction to the fight for woman suffrage. I'd like something a bit more detailed and in depth, but this was a fine starting point.

Such a wonderful set of books. I can't wait to read the rest of them! They're just so sweet and nice and perfect. :)

Listened to the LibriVox recording.

This was a decent story. Not amazing, or it wouldn't've taken me forever to finish listening to, but it was good.

I wish I could do 3.5 but goodreads doesn't do halves... It was too slow and dragging for too much of the book and too much was crammed into the last 40 pages or so. In the end it was good though. Just not great.

I wouldn't have bought this full price, honestly. I wanted it, but not that badly for all it is. But it was on clearance and I had a double discount day at work, so I did. Finally getting around to looking at it.

Won through feelingstitchy.com

I really enjoyed the various interviews. Some more than others. I don't necessarily care for the patterns provided, though some are good. Mostly, the interviews gave me more ideas for projects than the projects themselves inspired in me.

Saw this at work and had to have it! A book that combines history (and mainly women's history at that) and knitting is like a dream come true. :) Finally getting around to looking at it.

ARC. This was fine. I can understand its value and that some kids may enjoy it, but I didn't care for it. It seemed overly simplistic even though it address difficult issues. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and give it three stars.
