Summary: I like this book! :)
Comment: This ia a faboo book, but not for someone who wants to learn to knit. It is as the tiltle says, charted desgins. That's it. Oh it has pretty pictues and ideas for projects, but there's no how-to instructions.
The patterns are wonderful! I love the celtic ones, and the little dancing skeletons. And the cover design which is a tattoo from a ice age mummy! (how cool is that??) The patterns are in black to white greyscales. They a rather easy to follow.
Highly recommended if you want patterns that are not the usual!

Summary: Excellent resource
Comment: All of the Cartwright-Jones knitting books are wonderful, and this one adds to the collection with amazing designs and motifs from all over the world, plus detailed directions for a pillbox-type hat, lavishly patterned kneesocks, a drawstring bag, and a hooded cloak/coat. These are a far cry from most knitting patterns available--they are ethnically or historically inspired and they allow the knitter to fit and style according to her needs and taste. The only reason I don't give five stars is that the charts are hard to read and for some reason don't give the stitch x row counts the way the Tap Dancing Lizard book did. A word of warning: these patterns are geared heavily toward machine knitters. Hand knitters will not be as happy.

Summary: Nice Designs, but charts are too big & hard to read!
Comment: I have to concur with the other reviews-- most of the charts are too large to use with an 8mm kniting machine or with hand-knitting. I like the idea that they are trying to show the grid-lines, because I sometimes had trouble with the charts in "The tap-Dancing Lizard", trying to figure out exactly how many stitches were in a large block of color. However, I think it could have been done better, in a way that was easier to read. Also, I wish the grid was marked with a heavier or colored line every five or ten stitches. Some of the designs are lovely, but simply too big for me to use unless I were making something huge like a blanket!
