Great purchase
This is a great book, in perfect shape and the patterns are fun. I love how they are all celtic-inspired, with intricate knots and cables. I am very excited to try some out, I think it will be a great next step in my experience and further my skill, since the patterns are a bit daunting to me. It's a great purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
