This book contains a lot of information about Andean history, tradition and folklore.
It features mostly special bags (bolsa-purse) with small knitted-in bags like thumbs.
Side informations tell about magical charms or luck symbols (like the hint not to use bright colors in your purse else the money will fly away faster)and explain the symbolism of the knitted motives (a dog guards your money etc.).
The whole book is nicely printed with lots of photographies of people and landscapes.
Charts are very dense and you have to be able to knit with more than one color to follow the designs, which are extremely beautiful!
It is not recommended for starters, but if you can knit a sock or a mitten, you will be able to knit a wonderful bag to carry your next knitting project along.
