SUMMARY- While the original Danish is there, there are translations of everything into English. 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 doilies, and none of my personal favorites made the cover. 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 and are looking for something unique in doilies, you'll love these designs.
