Has many stitches I have not seen elsewhere before. Some instructions could be clearer.

While this is mostly a stitch dictionary, like the other Anchor books, unlike them, it includes complete directions for making several Hardanger projects. I wouldn't want this to be my only Hardanger book when beginning, but it would make a useful second source. If you already know how to do Hardanger and want a stitch dictionary with some excellent examples of color use in non-traditional ways, this would be a good book to pick up. (
