Some of the patterns are very hard to read because they use colours only, not symbols - and yellow on white is impossible to see. However, most of them are readable, and some of the projects are unique and worth keeping the book for. I made the Knitting Basket (beaded and quite lovely) and a decorative pincushion (which I modified to read See A Pin And Pick It Up instead of For Eve With Love - Eve?!), and I'm quite proud of the results.
