Limited
I was surprised to see that some of the adult patterns in this book contained instructions for only one size (34)! I've been knitting off and on for 46+ years and don't find it easy to extrapolate to different sizes - if a pattern doesn't go anywhere near my size, I will be moving on to something else. There are also patterns in the book that have TWO sizes (small and medium, in effect). Yippee skippy! It's pretty well known that these days most of us corn (syrup)- fed Americans are overweight, so why publish patterns just for models?
The kiddie patterns are very cute and also appear practical -- if I were going to make anything from this book, it would be a children's sweater or two.
not inspirational
This book is geared more towards the beginner, as the variety and patterns in this book are not really inspirational to more experienced knitters. This is quite a let down of a book, although there are a few pieces I may someday knit.
Celtic? Nah
What a lovely book this is, full of happy blond children lavishly photographed amidst charmingly rustic settings. However, the knitwear they're modeling, although clean-lined and attractive, isn't "Celtic" at all. Yes, there is one Aran-ish tunic in the collection, but unless you are a thirteen-year-old, it won't fit you. A terrific disappointment!
