Lots of cool patterns, and the pictures make it easy to imagine what they would look like. I have followed several of the patterns with good results. The instruction details for complex stitches are sketched reasonably well, but are very hard to find and not organized in a way that can be easily used. The block pattern illustrations (black and white stitch diagrams for each pattern) are too small to be usable. It's practically impossible to tell what each square means without looking at the text instructions. The linked PDFs are also of poor quality. This book has amazing content, and if better organized and presented, it could be invaluable. Now, it is 2 parts great and 5 parts frustrating.

Contains lots of patterns I've never seen elsewhere, including some multi-colour cables. Very inspiring.
