The book seems to have a wider rate of patterns. Different styles and difficulty levels. I haven’t tried any yet but I’m hopeful that it will be useful. I am a little disappointed that there’s no men’s patterns in here. Maybe that was my misunderstanding of the content of the book. Also, there’s no kids patterns, which is less of a problem for me, but I’d imagine other people might have been hoping for that. The difficulties of buying books online is that you can never fill the anticipate the contents. Despite that I’m encouraged by the wide rate of women’s sweaters.
