Lovely book with timeless patterns despite it being from 1991. A large number of the patterns are more challenging, as they have a lot of colour work. However, one could always choose to work the garment in one colour only. In addition there are a few patterns suitable for the beginner.

I have been an avid knitter for years, and Patricia Roberts' complex and unusual designs are my all-time favourites. I was thrilled to find this book, as it is one of the few I haven't got, and is now out of print. It has 50 patterns which are all new to me (unlike some compendium books, which are collections of previously published designs). Having just received it, I obviously haven't tried any of the patterns yet, but all are well-presented, with excellent pictures and clear, easy to follow instructions. All abbreviations are explained, and washing instructions are provided. It looks to be one of the most interesting collections of knitting patterns anywhere!
