I pre-ordered my copy of Twinkle's Weekend Knits before I even completed a project from her previous book, Twinkles' Big City Knits. After a couple of unsuccessful projects I turned out from that book, I thought about canceling my order for Weekend Knits. After looking through the book, I don't think this one will be any better than the last. The patterns still seem to be written for really small sized people and some are similar to patterns in the other book. For example, the Borealis Sweater is a shorter version of the Shopping Tunic from Big City Knits. There is a scarf that is the same stitch pattern as the Karate Sweater. I don't know. I don't think I'll be knitting any of the sweaters because they probably won't fit me, but maybe I'll knit some of the accessories (but definitely not the hanger cozies). Here's a sample of some of the patterns.

HI
Thanks for the photos... don't be too discouraged about making her stuff. I am not small - 12 - 14 UK which I think is around a 16 US. I made her hoodie in Blue Skies bulky, and in teh large, it was too big! I had to remake it in the medium...
