SUMMARY- This was an interesting find. My copy is not in great shape, though it at least has all its pages. It is mostly crochet, and it shows you a lot of patterns that you then have to buy separately(they're not actually in the book). The handful of tatting patterns use traditional technique, but are quite striking in their presentation - I'd be thrilled to have the scroll border or linked oval towels hanging in my kitchen. The knitting section is mostly crochet, for some reason. I guess they didn't think the knitting section had enough patterns in it and adding crochet patterns to that part of the book would fool the person buying the book? Dunno. Still, glad I came across it.
