Number of Patterns: 31
Split of patterns: mostly women, some household and a few others
Size Range: 36"-49", most go up to at least 46 and some go as small as 34
Colour/Black & White: COlour throughout
Schematics: yes for garments and complex patterns
Target Audience: This one strikes me as an intermediate book. There's one shawl that will be mine, oh yes, knitting it would be terribly simple, the embroidery would take a while. But every time I look at it I start drooling.
How to knit guide: yes and an how to embroider and how to embroider on wool guide.
Experimental/Classical/Modern: some suffer from using fun fur (look yes, I'm biased but if I'm going to embroider something it ain't going to be a fun-fur scarf!)
Comments: start looking at patterns from page 35, go back to the hats later. Trust me. This is a book that could start you doing things to more than just the patterns involved. There's a fair bit of swiss darning here and some of the ideas are quite good, and would spruce up a slightly worn jumper or cardigan. There's a pattern here that makes me think about playing with variagated yarn somewhat to get a different effect that looks good (and not too fussy), there are a few that will date badly but overall I would treat it as an inspiration book rather than a rigid book (except that shawl, it will be mine! It's the [Meandering Vine Shawl](pattern) and hopefully someone will have been mad enough!)
Buy/Borrow: I'm adding it to the wishlist.
Where found: There are copies on their way to some Dublin City Public Libraries ( )
