You'll find many very sweet patterns in this book, although they remind me very much of English crochet books from the 70s - just with fresher colours! The projects have a definite vintage/thrift style, and there are three pattern sections: 'small crafts for interiors', 'private time for favorite handicrafts' and 'fashionable items for everyday life'.
It's twee but lovely, with very clear instructions and illustrations for the beginner - as with most lace crochet, it looks much more difficult than it is. And of course all the colours and pictures are the epitomy of gentle prettiness! Great weekend projects.
