GREAT BOOK!

I had a copy of this book but loaned it to a friend. Of course I never got it back. It is a great book - covers all the styles, especially the Ganseys and Shetland styles. Just buy it - you'll love it.

Pattern Knitters' Heaven!

The sweater patterns in this book are divided by type of knitting; Shetland lace, 'fisherman' (Aran) patterns, and Fairisle (complex color patterns). This is an older book, so patterns are presented 'row-by-row' (K2, inc 1, P2, etc) rather than in graphs. Clear color photos show the detail of each sweater and the instructions are well presented. I've referred to this book over and over; it's a constant source of inspiration.
