Glamour At Home
Erika Knight
In A Nutshell: Glamour mainly means cushions in 15 stylish knits for the home with a vintage vibe.
This is a slim volume containing 15 knits for the home. The “Glamour” element is in the choice of high quality yarns, a subtle colour palette, and luxurious details such as beads, sequins and bows. There is a vintage vibe coming through in the photos, perfectly suiting the mood of the moment.
I am not keen on the way this book is set out. Pictures of all the projects are grouped together, with all the instructions placed at the back of the book. I would much rather have picture and pattern together, so I can quickly see the yarn details and how complicated it is to make. I find it annoying to have to keep flicking backwards and forwards.
The patterns are attractive but cushions do predominate. Two designs for a jacquard and a knot stitch cushion certainly couldn’t be out of place in any upmarket interior design emporium.
If you are looking for a cushion pattern, this book may be for you, but look elsewhere for a greater diversity of projects.
