Son of Stitch and Bitch

Son of Stitch 'n Bitch Edited by Debbie Stoller.  As a successor to the highly popular Stitch and Bitch series, Son of Stitch and Bitch disappoints. The premise is a good one, it just falls a bit flat for all the males in my life. Despite being designed by or consulted with men, most of the patterns here are still awfully flashy, and some of them are downright garish. While I find it cute, I don't know a single man who'd actually wear a sweater in bright 'Ernie' stripes, and while some of the other cabled alternatives are more tasteful, they're worked in colors and yarns that only the trendier hipster would find attractive. The hats and scarves are more in keeping with traditional guy schemes, and I like the dress sock pattern offered quite a lot. I just don't know anyone (myself included) who would wear the rest of the entries, which makes this pattern book a pass for me.
