Does anyone have a link to photos of all 25 projects in this book please? I haven't managed to track it down in the local bookshops and I'd like to have a look at all the projects before I decide whether or not to buy it. Thanks.

There's 9 images there. It's on my 'to buy' list as I'm a real fan of Stefanie Japel

Thanks for that, gempud. I didn't think of looking on the American Amazon :roll: . I love the purple cropped cardi with the flared sleeves.

I love a lot of her designs but funnily enough I look at the ones in Fitted Knits and think quiet a few of them would make me look a bit bulky due to all the trims and things she tends to put round the midsections. I think her patterns are perfect for customising though and she usually encourages people to do that.

On a lot of the blogs I've read I've seen quite a few of the cropped cardis so maybe it's worthwhile googling her name and seeing what it comes up with.

Oh, and there was this (http://yarncrawl.typepad.com/fittedknitsalong/) link on the Amazon page to the Fitted Knits knitalong blog. Very useful.

I think this (http://yarncrawl.typepad.com/fittedknitsalong/airy_wraparound_lace_sweater/index.html) pattern might have sold it for me.

I can see what you mean about the potential bulkiness. I tend to like the more streamlined designs myself, which is why the idea of the fitted knits appeals. I think the wrap-around top above might come into the bulky category (due to the large ties at the front) though the airiness of the fabric and the fine yarn seems to save it.
