Pressestimmen
Almost ten years old, but looking well over twenty, the patterns in this book belong to the older 80's style of knitting. If that is what you are looking for then dive in for 48 designs inspired by the decorative arts. For me, even in 1999, this misses the mark. The patterns do not connect with the so-called inspiration in my eyes. They include pattens for men, women and children and home with an emphasis on womenswear. Beautifully produced book with fabulous photography and clear instructions - KarenPlatt.co.uk

Whilst I do not usually respond to reviews, I would like to clarify a few things about my work. My approach to knitwear design is a combination of my love of the craft, a lifelong interest in costume design and a passion for creating beautiful things. My aims in constructing a collection of my designs for publication are not driven by economics (I could find a better paid job in Woolworths), but by my wish to compile a beautiful book of designs, underpinned by a common theme. In Sculptured Knits my theme was the decorative arts of the twentieth century. With such massive scope I don't pretend to have covered anything but a fraction of it, but it does serve as a springboard and adds another dimension to the book for the intelligent reader who is interested in learning more about the design process.
I always try to be thoroughly professional in my work and know that the accusation of producing a "rushed job" is totally unjustified. Sculptured Knits represents a year's work and I feel is excellent value for money, having no less than 48 unique designs in one book. You will find no half measures here - you will either like an individual design or you won't, but what I hope you will find are patterns which collectively are fun and inspiring, and individually, enough interesting pieces that you will want to knit to justify buying the book. Each design is executed in three sizes with much thought given to shape, texture and detail, the latter, in my opinion, being so important in producing a coherent design and a trademark in all my sweaters.
I realise that I can't please all of the people all of the time, but I do feel that some people will never be pleased. The craft of knitting is not served by spiteful reviews . I have no problem with constructive feedback - it's inspiring to hear suggestions on how to make ever more exciting and innovative knitwear books. The learning process is ongoing and criticism invaluable in pushing the boundaries. I always give my best to a project as it is not in my nature to do things by halves. I am very proud of Sculptured Knits and challenge the "forget it" and "wet kiss" amateur reviewers to be more specific in their criticisms instead of writing glib, negative two liners which are useless to the genuine knitting public. For knitters who might like a fuller and informed review, please refer to the Spring issues of Vogue Knitting and Interweave Knits or consult my website.

This is an interesting book with a focus on texture and tailoring not colour, which is in keeping with the title. I have found it especially interesting in that several of the patterns were technically quite innovative, which is something that I rarely find in most commercial knitting books. It is rare to have a pattern which is novel for its knitting technique rather than its colour use. In particular, there is a pattern to produce a fully reversible jacket that is differently coloured on each side.
This is not a flawless book, I don't like all the patterns but the majority are more than good enough to repay my investment in the book. The instructions are clear, concise and blessedly error free and it is nice to have a new knitting book that is not just another book of full of intarsia patterns.

As a knitwear designer, I am quite familiar with the work of Jean Moss and many others. I found Sculptured Knits to be inspirational, informative and cutting edge. Ms. Moss approaches her designs as a dressmaker would. You can be certain of excellent fit, fashion and diversity of design. I recommend this book heartily. I am delighted with Jean Moss' use of the 20th century decorative arts movement as a touchstone for her latest designs. The instructions are clear and concise. Sculptured Knits is a treasure to have in any knitters library.

forget it
This was obviously a rushed job. Too bad as the author shows talent. The book is beautifully produced but the content is not even as worthy as any knitting magazine on sale now. Lesen Sie weiter...

A disappointment from a good designer
This book was very disappointing. I suspect that the big, long, 5-star, wet-kiss review was written by the author's best friend. Lesen Sie weiter...

Sculptured Knits
5 stars is not adequate for this book. An exquisite publication indeed. An inspiration to anyone interested in knitted garments - not just those who knit.

More than 5 stars, it's fantastic
This is an absolutely beautiful book, with sweater designs for everyone. Out of 40 total designs, Moss has created a handful for the home (lovely afghans and pillows), numerous... Lesen Sie weiter...
