Title: Disappointing book
Review: I am really disappointed with this book. Except from a couple designs that I like (see pictures in front and cover pages) all the other designs are really outdated!! Looking inside the book I realized the problem. Although the book was published in 2001 the copyrights for the designs and photos date back to 1990!Almost all the designs have dropped shoulders and are worn with shoulder pads. There is an aran suit (blouse and skirt) that makes a twenty-year-old model look really old and fat. All tapestry sweaters have really big flowers and birds in the fronts (I was immediately reminded of poor Bridget Jones). Most of the aran sweaters and cardigans are too boxy and bulky and one of them, a bobble and cable sweater...well, I haven't seen a sweater with so many bobbles. A couple of jackets have really unappealing large(!!) collars and there is a forties-style twinset...with nothing forties or nice about it. So knitters beware!
