      oh hooray! honestly, you are the exact person that I was doing this review for. I really hated not knowing which beginner book was the right book for me when I started out. hope this was helpful!

    A silly comment, but I really enjoyed the way you pronounced the Finnish names and words, in your accent they sound much more fun than irl 😂

    To be honest I wasn’t going to watch this video, I didn’t care about the book review, but I ran out of your other videos and I love watching you haha I did enjoy the book review after all though.

    if i didn't already get 3 knitting books for christmas i think i would have tried to go out of my way to get this one. i liked sooo many of the patterns when they started showing up on ravelry. i think i'll end up getting it later in the year maybe. also thank you so much for mentioning the sizes!!!! that is extremely helpful to know before buying a book with patterns, especially if you're buying it online. you wouldn't believe how non-descriptive some descriptions of pattern books can be. i'm plus size and have only been knitting for a year so it's really important to know if my size is available because idk if i could modify stuff to fit me very easily or if i would even want to try lol.

    • @MaressaMade
      @MaressaMade  Рік тому +1

      i totally get that! i can’t stand it when the public pattern doesn’t have enough information. and this book is totally worth the investment (later on after you’ve read the other 3 😉)

    You said they have socks and shawl patterns in this? Are they repeats from the other books? Kind of a bummer that they put those in when they have 2 other books with these.

    My sweet husband bought this book for me for Christmas and I LOVE it SO much!! All the things you said and more! That part in EVERY pattern about yarn substitution is the BEST! I mean, what newbie doesn’t need advice about subbing yarns?!? 🎉 And I think they do say in there somewhere that they are going to be adding to their video tutorial library to support these patterns. So that will be another huge plus. I think this is my all time fav knitting book ever and I’ve been knitting for 20+ years! Thanks for being you and so cute! ❤

    • @MaressaMade
      @MaressaMade  Рік тому +1

      yes!!! i should have given the yarn substitutions more love in the video!! they are such an incredible addition to the book 💕

    Thanks for the review! I have been curious about this book. I looove an easy knit and that Isabelle Kramer cardigan also jumped out at me on Ravelry. I have 52 weeks of socks because I love knitting socks....and then discovered the thing I like about sock knitting is just plain, basic socks not the complicated cabled stuffs. Whoops.

    • @MaressaMade
      @MaressaMade  Рік тому +1

      😂😂 i have never identified with a sentiment about that book more! i was so excited to knit that whole book… and then realized me + vanilla socks are bffs

    Half the patterns I own is due to the photography! Kim Hargreaves books are in my library because I love the imagery as well as Veronika Lindberg and Irina Anikeeva.

    just a hint - Americans never seem to want to take the time to find out how to pronounce Names and Titles in other languages including British/Scottish/Irish names and words. There is Google and it is always a great help. It works better if you are giving respect to the designers if you are going to promote them.

    • @MaressaMade
      @MaressaMade  Рік тому +2

      here’s a hint: if you think being condescending towards an American was going to gain you any favor in this comment section… you’ve got the wrong one, friend. try again on a different video, on a different account, with someone much less likely to call you on your BS. because what i find always works better - not just with designers but mostly just in, i don’t know, LIFE - is humility rather than the snobbery you’ve exhibited above. have a blessed & blocked day! 😘
