Celtic Charted Designs (Dover Needlework Series)

Summary: Mixed Review Again for Dover Needleworks
Review: I have purchased both Celtic design books from Dover. Good designs, but the lack of color in the designs and the hard to read black and white charts are a hindrance. The one thing they really have going for them is that it's just hard to find other designs like these in color. So for the price, you can always enlarge these charts and play around with the color on your own.

Summary: Excellent designs
Review: This book has many excellent designs. As an avid cross stitcher I love to pick up books. This book has many, and I do mean many designs with over 100 to its credit. The designs are flexible enough that they can make pictures, pillows, or a special addition to a favor. One draw back, be prepared to go to a copy shop and blow up the designs, they can be very small. I give it 5 stars despite this major draw back. The quantity of designs, the quality of the designs, and the fantastic price, well they can't be matched.

Summary: If you cross-stitch, buy this book NOW!
Review: This is, bar none, the most useful pattern book I have ever owned. The knotwork is beautifully intricate, the animal forms are amusing, and the triskeles are gorgeous. I have used dozens of the hundreds of patterns offered here. If you cross-stitch (or do needlepoint, or whatever) you WILL be inspired by the contents of this book.
