A nice selection (mostly sweaters and cardigans) of vintage knitting patterns reworked into a modern format, with lovely pictures and bits of vintage knitting trivia. Mostly 40s era patterns.

The patterns in this book are really lovely, and it's so interesting to see pictures (albeit tiny ones) of the original inspirations from the 1940s and 50s. There are several patterns I would love to knit once I feel comfortable with my knitting skills. This is a book I would probably buy down the road, once I am a more advanced knitter.

I didn't really like how the pictures were all in the front of the book, and the patterns in the back. I'd rather have them side-by-side. Just a small complaint.

This book includes some uncommonly pretty projects and has very easy to understand patterns. I love the idea of modernizing vintage classics; this book does it best of what I've seen! Oh, and I'm absolutely in love with the diamond stitch sweater!
