To begin with, let me say that this is a beautiful book. The style of it is perfect for the content, the binding well done and the photos could not be any better. Everything is photographed well and explained thoroughly.

With that out of the way, let me tell you about the real meat of the book - the patterns. There are an abundance of them, representing many eras. Valuable page space is not wasted on teaching you knitting basics again; if you're buying a big pattern book, it is rightly assumed that you know how. She does dedicate part of the book to explaining how to translate old patterns yourself, and I found that very helpful.

There is a good range of styles and sizes presented, from newborn up through toddler. Toys, blankets, clothing, all find a home within.
