Summary: Not for beginners.
Comment: I just got this book the other day, and about 90 minutes ago I sat down to get a good look at it. I have to say that if you are a beginner, this is NOT the book for you. I've never been all that big on "Charts" so this is going to be an adventure. I have already gotten a bit of a headache from trying to "uncode" some of the Patterns. I agree with the woman that commented about some of the Lace Patterns, they should have used a darker color for the yarn, or the background. I do believe that the advanced knitter that was unable to "uncode" some of the Chart symbols will be able to, eventually, but only because she stated that she has been knitting for some time. I have also, for about 35 years, but I will say that I believe that I will have my work cut out for me on this one. But then again, it would be boring if it was extremely easy now wouldn't it? (hahaha) IF you are a fan of Charts, and have been Knitting for a good while, I believe that this will be a good addition to your Knitting Library. Some of the Patterns are very pretty, and new to me. For example, I haven't ever seen the "Double Moss Stitch" worked vertically before. It looks to be very pretty. Thankfully I will have NO trouble "uncoding" that one. (smile) Like the woman that said that she is used to the "K1,P1" instructions, I will probably be writting down the Patterns for awhile, at least until I get used to reading the Charts. IF you have trouble reading small print, like I do, you may want to re-think getting this book. The small print mixed with the semi-glossy pages are a bit trying on the eyes, and thus one reason for the bit of a headache I have now. Also, to anyone reading this before they purchase this book, ALL of the patterns are in "Chart" form. I, being in a bit of a hurry, did not relize that after reading the "Reviews" that I read. Then again, I only read 2-3...lol. That will teach me to be in a hurry again. (smile) But then again, it really didn't cost me all that much, & now I have a big reason to learn how to read Charts. May God bless you & yours!

Summary: A Must for your Knitting Library
Comment: While not as extensive as some multi-volume stitch collections; this book is a handy and indispensible reference. The stitches are organized by type, thumbnailed for quick selection, and photographed adequately. The instructions are easy to follow.

Summary: Great but missing vital information
Comment: I love the beautiful pictures of the stitch samples and learned how to read charts. However, and this is a big however, I was very disappointed to see that there were no diagrams of how to actually do the stitches. The Crochet Stitch Bible by Betty Barnden does both.

Summary: Lovely little book
Comment: This is a delightful little book. It is especially nice in actual use because, while it has a hard bound cover, it has a spiral binding inside which opens the volume out flat for viewing. I also appreciated the photo index of stitches in the front. It permits the user to compare several similar patterns at once. The index arranges selections in sections listed as "knit and purl," "ribbing," "cable," "bobbles," "lace," "fair isle," and "intarsia."
The system of presenting the pattern instructions was a little confusing at first. I am more accustomed to the old system of "knit 2, purl 2" etc. The book presents the pattern in graphic form. You see the pattern as it would appear from the front, but the knit and purl designations change their character every row. Essentially while a dot may represent a purl in one row, it may represent a knit in the row above it. This confused me for a while. After using the system for a pattern, though, I started to make sense of it.
The methods of illustrating vairous techniques--knit three in the same stitch, for instance--required a frequent referral to the key until I could remember it, but this is no different from the pattern key that is often included in many common sweater patterns.
The illustrations featuring the sample knitting are lovely--I should knit that evenly!--and delightful just to look at on their own. The fair isle and intarsia patterns were especially lovely. My favorites were the "Interlocking Swirls" on p. 207, the "Inca Stitch" on p. 201, and the "Snowflake" on p. 203.
A nice little book

Summary: Disappointing!
Comment: I practically snatched this book off the shelf at the local bookstore, since I'm a true fan of Barbara Walker's treasuries but always looking to expand my horizons. I'm afraid it's a bit of a disappointment.
Color photos are nice, but getting creative with yarn colors for these pattern swatches was not always a great idea. Tweedy yarns as well as bright-colored yarns (e.g., many of the bobbles which are done in bright red) make it difficult to see the texture; and a large number of the lace patterns, some of them very poorly lit, are shown in light-colored yarn on a white background. I keep finding myself unconsciously tilting the book trying to get some shadows so I can see what the pattern actually looks like.
Another major problem is that some of the symbols in the charts are not listed in the "Chart Symbols" at the back of the book, and some are just wrong. There are at least two "mystery symbols" appearing in the charts. Several patterns which I know are using twisted (or crossed) stitches show cable symbols instead. ("Mock cable," pattern #23, shows cable symbols - how is it a mock cable if you're actually using a cable??)
As another reviewer noted, many of the patterns in the "Fair Isle" section are not actually Fair Isle. The selection of actual Fair Isle designs is rather scanty.
Last and probably least, I wish there were more commentary on the patterns such as Barbara Walker gives, regarding the qualities of the fabric, suggested needle sizes, applications, etc.
I give the book 2 stars only because there are several patterns in it which are new to me and I will probably use. (Unfortunately one of those patterns, #25 "Celtic vine," is one of the charts with mystery symbols, although I think I can figure it out in this case. A beginner definitely could not.)
