Graphs should've been included...

Not bad without graphs but some of the 100 patterns would benefit from some further explanation. Also, those done in lighter yarns are hard to see against the white background. Glad I was able to preview in KU, many are patterns I already have/know but there are some interesting variations here.

Had some really beautiful stitches I don't remember seeing before. Liked it so much I had to pay overdue fines. May have to buy it.
