Debbie Bliss is strongly promoted by Rowan, which led me to believe this would be an excellent choice. However I found the instructions sparse, sloppy, and even inaccurate (p.10, one is told to knit, but the row should be purl; p 46, the collar as given is not wide enough to hide the joining seam; p.26, the 'corner' of the border is unnecessarily complex); the designs careless (p.8, button and bow get in each other's way) not well fitting (these bootees are too wide on the leg, and cannot be tightened as the bows are only decorative) and not thorough (3 sizes for the jacket may be given, but only one for the matching bootees).
Only someone experienced could work out ways of altering these designs to improve them. Very disappointing.
