SUMMARY- While the original Danish is there, there are translations of everything into English and Italian. She also includes diagrams, which need no translation. Patterns are not written out, but there are written instructions describing the tricky bits, as always. You can see from the cover that the theme for this book is leaves and flowers - and you get a fantastic variety of both. Everyone in my guild knows I'm uncommonly fond of leaf patterns, so you can guess how giddy I am to get a book full of them by Iris Niebach! 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 some more variety of flora to play with and expand your library of patterns, you'll love these designs. ps- she's added a QR-code that leads to a video on how to work the trickier bits if the tutorials don't help enough, as she uses inclusion, blocktatting, cluny leaves, and Maltese techniques.
pps- You'll note that my Table of Contents appears to be missing a "Leaf 10" - that's because there isn't one that I could find in the book. She goes from "Leaf 9" to "Leaf 11" and I'm not missing any pages, so that pattern may have been left out?
