SUMMARY- While the original Danish is there, there are translations of everything into English and Italian. She also includes good diagrams, which need no translation. Patterns are not written out, but there are written instructions describing the tricky bits, as always. This book's designs are all tiling square motifs, and all twelve can have one corner lengthened to transform the pattern into a cross. If you need a variety of tiles for a larger piece, this is one of the first go-to's I'd recommend. Worth every penny! She employs several more advanced techniques and encourages you to learn them, as they are often used in modern patterns. Iris loves to play with color, and gets some really cheerful and bright results. I love Iris Niebach's work - she never disappoints. This isn't a book I'd hand to a novice tatter, but if you are an experienced tatter, you'll love these designs.
