A very attractive book, a few garment patterns, one or two other and some stitch patterns. This book has a decent section on technique with lots of illustrations.
There didn't seem to be much 'Swedishness' about it as most of the patterns seemed English to me.

SO MANY PATTERNS! Plus, a lot of interesting stuff about different types of yarn.
Also, if I ever come across a pattern in Swedish, this has all of the Swedish translations for terms in patterns as well. :)

Some nice things and good ideas and stitch patterns. But many of the patterns are unclear and seem to have a lot of errors.
