I received this book as a gift and have used it as a reference and intarsia teaching tool. The instructions are clear and helpful, but I've never made any of the patterns in the book. There are some cute patterns, but they aren't really to my taste. But that should not dissuade anyone who is interested in learning/trying intarsia from picking up this book. It's written in a conversational style that makes learning a new technique easy and fun.

This is a well laid out book of patterns for those looking to learn or expand their horizons with inartasia. As well as having 10 patterns there are also several extra charts to inspire you further. It's well laid out but definitely not one for the beginner. This one assumes you know the basics. ( )
