    Versatile, whimsical reference
    There’s a great mix of geometry and whimsy in the designs. Love that the index is broken down by stich repeat, to make substituting a motif into an existing pattern a breeze

    If you’re thinking about getting this, get it!
    I should have bought this book sooner! If you need to peak before buying, you can on YouTube, but seriously if you’re looking at knit books and thinking about getting it, you can feel confident this is the one and get it. You won’t regret this one. I got this one and hooktinary, which I love both, but this is by far my favorite out of any knit, crochet or weaving book I’ve bought so far. So much more than I expected and it’s big.

    Don’t buy this book…
    Unless you, too, want to instantly bookmark at least a dozen motifs just to start with, and be tempted to abandon all other projects just so you can cast on at once!This book includes a really helpful introduction showing the same motif swatched in different yarns, which is a great primer to help you sort through your stash and get started.As an experienced knitter, I don’t need the instructions on stranded colorwork knitting, but I did skim through them and found them to be clearly illustrated and well-written.All in all, another fantastic collaboration from Andrea and her husband Sean, and worth every penny!

    Variety of motifs, heavy on plants
    Clearly written and contains a wide variety of motifs, from trains to toilets, mice to dinosaurs. Has both standalone motifs as well as continuous or “all over” type motifs, each with both a chart and photograph of test-knit swatch. Charts are designed for stitches that are the same height as width, so if your knit stitches (like most) are taller than they are wide, the resulting work may appear distorted.I love that there are indexes in the back to look up motifs that fit your project by number of stitches or rows in the repeat, but I was disappointed to find them not completely accurate. I ended up inspired to make my own spreadsheet of all motifs in my own library, including these.If you’re looking for a colorwork motif dictionary, you might find it helpful to know the breakdown of these by category:Food – 7%Plants* – 38%Animals – 20%Geometric/Abstract – 21%Scenery/Seasonal/Recognizable inanimate objects – 20% (ish)* Many of the flowers or leaves are quite similar to each other. (3 versions of a maple leaF, for example), so counting them all as different patterns felt like a stretch in some cases.Average number of stitches in a repeat of a motif: just over 17, with a range of 5-48 stitches.Average number of rows in a motif: about 16.5, with a range of 5 to 46 rows.Pattern/design nstructions are clearly written, with good tips for modifying them.

    The best of its’ kind!
    Having been a knitter for 60 years, and owning upwards of 600 knitting books, I can tell you this is the best pattern collection for those who like to design their own creations.

    Mein erstes Buch zu Mustern und ich muss sagen es ist wirklich schön. Klar Muster sind Muster, aber sie gefallen mir wirklich. Eine nette Mischung aus klassischen Mustern (Rauten, Linien etc ) aber auch moderne Muster (Tiere, Pflanzen etc.) werde sicherlich einiges draus machen
