5.0 out of 5 stars Designing your own Aran Isle made simple, July 25, 2000
By Martha A. Baskin (Winter Park, Fl USA) - See all my reviews
This book provides a brief history of Aran knitting, an overview and how to explanation of aran knitting techniques, explanation of how to design an Aran Isle sweater, and written as well as chart instructions on 220 patterns. What I found most helpful was the grouping of patterns according to row repeats, from 2 row patterns to 48 row patterns. There were 14 1/2 page examples of Aran combinations with tables showing the row and stich number for each pattern used. These combination examples illustrate how the Aran designs of different length and with can be group to create unique designs.

This book is ideal for someone familiar with Aran Isle knitting who wants the freedom to design their own creations. A book most useful to intermediate to advance knitters, it covers the basics so well it would also be helpful to beginners with an interest in design.

5.0 out of 5 stars 220 Aran Stitches and Patterns - Volume 5 (Harmony Guides), October 21, 2003
By Gillian M Davis "phil_n_gill3" (Melton South, Victoria. Australia) - See all my reviews
This is a wonderful book for beginners and experts alike.

Easy clear directions and loads of patterns to choose from.

I am useing this book, at the moment, to create an original jumper/sweater using combination sets of cables and moss stitches.

One of the most useful pattern books I have ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful stitch patterns, September 7, 2003
By Barbara Young (New York State, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A wonderful book with wonderful stitch patterns. As an expert knitter, I found the beginning pages a good review and learned a few things as well. My only bone to pick: I don't like the way the charts for the return even numbered rows are coded to appear as the work looks from the front. When you actually have to pearl, the chart will indicate a knit stitch. Somewhat confusing at times, but if you know what you're doing, this can be overcome. The row by row written instructions don't do this, but that is no help to me, as I find chart instruction much easier to follow and don't even read the written instructions. All in all though, I would highly recommend this book
