I really like Cascade's 220 yarns and was surprised that I didn't like this book more. Of the 30 designs, I only really like the cover vest, and I'd modify that to be shorter. Many of the designs seem too long and the yarn is a tad too bulky. The shapes and color work are fairly simple, no expert-level garments here. Directions include stitch diagrams, when needed, and schematics but more photos would have been appreciated.

only 2 of patterns have photos of back; lots of photos of fronts

I was hoping this book would cover some notes on sizing adaptions. This is just a book of patterns.
