Title: Not a good book for someone who lives in Europe...Patons yarn not available here
Review: I have just started the Open-work cardigan (which is the red cardigan on the back book cover). In the instructions the number of stitches is off and thus within my first two rows I found an error and had to start over. WARNING...count the stitches accurately before beginning the patterns. Very frustrating. I also did not realise that this book is written with patterns directly from the yarn company Patons Design, a yarn that I cannot find in Italy. I bought the book on Amazon.co.uk, the English Amazon. I am not very pleased with the patterns themselves as they are on the "old-school" style of crochet and not contemporary or unique at all. I do hope to not find any more problems with the instructions as I continue this pattern.
