I purchased this book many years ago to go with my copy of Volume 1. Unfortunately I was silly enough to lend them to someone who never returned them to me. When I saw them for sale I couldn't believe it and immediately bought them again.
The instructions are wonderfully simple, the abbreviations are the Enlish version (most knitting books are American whose abbreviations I find a bit too complicated and long winded). I like to design my own knitwear and the pictures are very clear and make it easy to envisage the finished item, we all need a bit of inspiration at times don't we? It's a book that is brilliant for a beginner or advanced knitter,
The book is unfortunately out of print now but if you ever see a copy sold I would have no hesitation in recommending you purchase it (even 2nd hand as this was). It's been like welcoming an old friend back into my life.
