5.0 out of 5 stars basic stitch book, January 4, 2006
Definitely an important stitch collection book. Should be on every serious knitter's bookshelf; I've owned it for years. Chapters organized by country: Arabic, Spanish, Italian and French, German and Austrian, Dutch, Scandinavian, Fair isle and Shetland, British Isles, and Fishermen's sweaters. Most patterns are written out but charts where more helpful. b&w photos for all stitches.

4.0 out of 5 stars For serious knitters only, February 27, 2006
This book is not for beginners or casual knitters, but if you're interested in ethnic design and the history of knitting, it is a useful reference. The written instructions are not to current standard, but are accurate; the charts can be easier to follow for experienced knitters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book, I'm really glad I got this one , February 10, 2006
By D. Tzoutzouraki (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the books that I was really glad I made the purchase. I liked the fact that it had written instructions for the several stitches. I think it saves time than having the stitches in charts and having to memorise symbols etc. But like the other reviewer said it has charts where it is needed that is for designs that have colorwork. All in all a very nice book
