Every knitter that knits sweaters should own this book. The feeling of this book is 100% body positive. Go buy it already! Knitty.com

I feel like this book is one that is so needed right now. There are so many luscious knitwear patterns being designed and released these days, its easy to rush into knitting everything that is popular. I know Ive been guilty of that, and then disappointed in the end when the finished garment made me embarrassed to wear it in public. Getting more guidance on what styles would be more suitable seems like the smartest thing to do before investing a good chunk of change in a sweaters worth of yarn. Sweet Georgia Yarns

You pick a pattern and buy some yarn. One hundred and fifty dollars and forty hours later, you try on your freshly knitted sweater and . . . oh no. You vow to take up scrapbooking. Which is why we need Knit to Flatter. Kudos to the author and the production team for including models of diverse colors, shapes and sizes, creating a look book to which we can all relate.
