I had high hopes for the patterns in this book, but was disappointed. Of the 20 patterns I would only be tempted to (maybe) make 3 and only with revisions. Many of the cat's faces and/or bodies are poorly worked and look cheesy- too fat, too thin, cartoonish or just distorted. A few of the sweaters look "dated" like sweaters from the fifties. I guess I was expecting something much more up to date and sophisticated, more in line with the more detailed patterns we have today. I would suggest that instead of purchasing this book that you search online there are much better designers out there to choose from.
