EXCELLENT!

"Unique collection of modern knitwear based on historical themes." I've owned this book for several years. From when I first saw it in a bookstore, I had to have it. Beautiful knitted creations. "Captured" historical periods with design styles and/or with colors. It also includes variations of the sweaters/jackets plus accessories chosen to enhance the styles. The pictures of the actual knitted sweaters/jackets are clear and details are very clear. Then there are sketches showing the variations. Patterns are well-written with clear diagrams. If you are a knitter, you have to see Stitches in Time for yourself!
