I echo the comments that others have left, I am fed up with buying books that only cater for skinnies!! I can upsize most patterns by one size but more than that can get a bit tricky, so what is the point of trying to sell a book without stating the size range for the patterns. I wouldn't buy clothes without knowing the size so why would I spend quite a lot of money on knitting patterns without the sizes?

I also think that the larger knitting companies ought to have a plus size model in house & should have samples knitted in the largest size too, you can't just add 2 inches repeatedly to a size 8 & get a size 18 in the end. Plus sizes need to be shaped differently from average sizes who often need different shaping from very small sizes.

Lovely designs! Echoing the comment above, please, more info size ranges! As a plus-size knitter, I need to know that at least some of the designs might fit me before ordering a book of patterns. Or that upsizing guidelines were given even if the patterns aren't specifically written for size 14 and higher.

Would it be easier or more difficult to upsize a design made all in one? Or maybe the construction type makes no difference?

What I dislike most about finishing knits is sewing pieces together, mostly because it can be difficult to get the seam to look nice on the outside without a bulky mess on the inside! I do like knitted seams, though, and don't really consider them finishing (e.g. shoulder seams are often done this way).

Love these designs - esp the no-finish part! What is the size range for them? Specifically what finished size are they (in inches, please!)
