4.0 out of 5 stars Patterns for Guernseys, Jerseys & Arans, Oct 20 2003
By Gillian M Davis "phil_n_gill3" (Melton South, Victoria. Australia) - See all my reviews
This book is a combination of history and knitting class.

As a history book it is brilliant, alive and sentimental.

It is also a wonderful knitting book except, I do believe you need to be a very experienced knitter to attempt these patterns and the language used in the instructions may be a little confusing.

I consider myself to be a very good knitter but I think this book requires another "picture" book to give more visual help to those of us who need to "see" rather than read instructions.

A wonderful read all the same.

3.0 out of 5 stars For historical knitters only, April 4 2009
By M. Faulks (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought the book after reading several comments from other knitters on Ravelry. But if you are looking for complete patterns this book is not for you. If you are looking for particular stitch patterns found in vintage patterns from various places in the UK -and can design/compose your own sweater, then you will like the book. I'm not that ambitious!

4.0 out of 5 stars Patterns for Guernseys, Jerseys, and Arans;, Sep 19 2000
By Sandra Eberhart (Alto, MI USA) - See all my reviews
I am ordering a replacement copy for a book that has been "Read to Death". I have used the patterns in this book for many sweaters; it has a wealth of knit/purl and crossed stitch patterns for people who design their own knits. The sweater patterns themselves are less usefull, as they are knit very tightly in a much finer guage than most knitters would be interested in. Maybe if you have a machine that will do k/p patterning easily (mine won't). The Seahouses pattern is very lovely; I recommend it. It's also a good read for historical information on the history of these garments in the British Isles, and the author's search for information.
