I really love this book. There are so beautiful pictures in it and the patterns are so lovely. I will definitely knit several Sweaters out of it.

I like every pattern in this book.

Some very beautiful designs. However, Japel's over-reliance on raglans gets old after a while. Most of these are one basic underlying design with a few decorative tweaks.

Love this book. It has many great patterns. I have the yarn and the plans to complete 90% of the patterns in the book. I'm very picky about knitting books and found this to be wonderful. There are things for everyone in this book.
