Country Manor Patterns, but some good ideas

First, I admit that I am looking at this from the point of view of a hand knitter. Some machine knitting books have some great pattern ideas to adapt for hand-knitting. The Cartwright-Jones books are really good for this.This book had one pattern that I could adapt, a wrap that would be nice with a weaving technique. Also, I liked the pages on pattern drafting and finishing details. The rest of the patterns are rather English--long sweaters, long skirts worn with dark tights, knitted skirt and sweater sets, etc.--and there really aren't that many of them.A machine knitter would find this book useful for the techniques. A bonus is that there is a page with knitters' graph paper on it that you can copy for your own charts--hand or machine. The scale is small, so you might want to enlarge it, but that means you can put an entire sweater front chart on one page. Yay! Graph paper is really expensive and hard to find if you need it RIGHT NOW, so this is yet another reason to buy the book.
