Mostly black and white charts for designing your own stranded knitting projects. The charts could also be used for counted cross stitch, although the proportions would differ. Starmore includes a short (16 pages) discussion of the process for incorporating the charts into your projects, and color photos showing some of her projects along with the landscapes that inspired them. The color image across the top of the cover in this edition is from the Autumn variation of Starmore's Oregon cardigan. Long out of print, this new edition is an invaluable resource for adventurous knitters. ( )

95 % graphed charts, Not on proportioned knitters graph paper. no count of repeats, no extra heavy line for 10 by 10 squares. these faults make it very hard to use. Designs are OK, the few colours pictures are good.

For designing sweaters, use Knitting in the Old Way or any of EZ's books

In the course of her career as an internationally recognized authority on knitting design and instruction, Alice Starmore has acquired a remarkable collection of charted designs for color knitting. This treasury features a choice selection of her source material, arranged into four parts: (1) Traditional patterns from Europe, Russia, and South America (2) Adaptations from textiles and other art, including Japanese porcelain and Celtic metalwork (3) Alice Starmore's own geometric and nature-inspired originals (4) Practical instructions that explain how to incorporate these motifs into unique designs.
Suitable for beginning as well as advanced color knitters, these charted designs can also be adapted to other crafts, including weaving and embroidery. The first U.S. publication of Charts for Color Knitting, this new and expanded version explains how to incorporate color into your work and features color photographs of knitted swatches created expressly for this Dover edition.
