Would be even better if it came with a CD with the patterns on it. The way the patterns are presented in the book makes it really hard to resize one to actually use. There are numerous patterns per each page, so to transfer one to your computer via scanning envolves scanning an entire page, editing the image so it displays only the pattern you want and then transfering it to your resizing program is tedious & a waste of time. I would have gladly paid an additional $5 with this purchase in order to have a CD to work from.
