Do you like the variety of colors? seams? 5. Do you estimate the yardage well if yarn is not given or replaced? 6. Color charts aside, do you enjoy working with stitches by reading line by line rather than looking at a graph? I answered "no" to most of the above questions. I found 5 designs (aran, guernsey, kimono, waistcoat) that I would really like to make, but the smallest size is 48 inches and I'm a small person. I believe, I should have studied this book further. I thought I had Still, I've been knitting for over 60 years and can match a pattern/sweater and estimate/measure the footage; However, this takes time. Here is the sweater list: Cheyenne Saddle Blanket Jacket Weather Dancer Cardigan Puzzlemaker Jacket Aran Pullover Aran Cardigan Hands Across the World Jacket Wings n Water Cropped Kimono North Lights Jacket Easy Mohair Pullover Canyon Glow Weskit Bamboo Kimono Pine Tree Guernsey Yacht Club Cardigan Men's Navajo Vest Fisherman Vest
