Beautiful to look at, but requires expert skills

The patterns (and photos) are absolutely gorgeous, and although the book was published in 1988, there is a somewhat timeless quality to them. However, this is a book strictly for expert knitters, extremely well-versed in intarsia knitting (although there is some entrelac knitting). Don't expect any circular knitting, chunky yarns, machine knitted short-cuts. There is also no instruction on how to do intarsia knitting, or any other technique. The book assumes the reader has a thorough working knowledge of all the techniques and basics. This is not to say the book is of no value to the less-skilled knitter. It is inspiring in its use of color, pattern and texture. A less-skilled knitter could use some of the motifs on a more limited basis, and use the book as encouragement to stretch her abilities.
