If you own a large library of knitting patterns, then you may not find a lot of new things here. However, if you're looking for nice basics (I am, so I can modify them by adding different stitches, cables, edges, etc.), then you should really enjoy this collection. I agree with the first reviewer who said that the directions are clear and the patterns are both modern and timeless. The photographs and the book are very attractive.
The patterns are divided up into three weights: 5.5 stitches to the inch, 5 stitches, and 4.5. Perhaps the majority fall into the DK weight (5.5 stitches). They include some nice fitted pullovers and cardigans. Again, nothing shockingly new but really nice basics in clean shapes with some subtle details.
Definitely recommended for the advanced beginner or intermediate knitter. I am looking forward to knitting many of these designs.

The directions - clear as a bell. The twenty styles -timeless, modern, classic. But please: many, many women come in sizes other than bust 32 to bust 42. If only the range were 28 to 54, this book would be very close to perfection.
