Apart from lovely lacy knits, the patterns are embellished with ribbon, flowers, beads and more. I love the scarf on the front cover, embellished with a little fabric pocket having a personalised photograph. The book has twelve projects plus one knitted necklace. To be honest, I think the patterns work just as well without the embellishments and you could make different embellishments inspired by the book, or incorporate vintage finds giving more options. There are scarves, cowls, leg and arm warmers, a hat, socks and slippers. I like the 6 charts given for the lace scarf - they are all used in the pattern, but you could make endless variations using these. Some of the ideas are used more than once though, the pattern for arm warmers, socks are very similar. Also the skirt and cowl are using the same basic idea. Basic knitting and crochet techniques are given with close-up photos. I love the technique for decorative rolls. Great photography and easy to follow, clear instructions
