      Leapman's (Stashbuster Knits) latest collection focuses on fully fashioned shaping for knitwear, ensuring a flattering fit for all body types. After an introductory chapter, each of the book's next three chapters begins with a "Designer Workshop," which outlines specific aspects of shaping knitwear, followed by a variety of patterns. Each pattern includes symbols for the body types for which the garment is intended (all of the garments are flattering to multiple body types). Most of the patterns are suitable for advanced beginners and beyond, and the directions are clearly presented and easy to follow. VERDICT Leapman's explanation alone of techniques for tailoring knitwear is worth the price, and the fashionable, wearable garments are a bonus. Knitters interested in moving beyond loose, boxy garments will want to take a look.
