A book definitely for the experienced knitter - or for a person very motivated to learn how to knit Fair Isle and make steeks, etc, as all multi-colored sweaters are worked in the round. I bought this book mainly for the charted designs, as I initially plan to use heavier yarn to make an elephant afghan and pillow (directions for sweater chart only!). Some of the designs were adapted from successful adult patterns that Alice had written. All the designs are works of art and include the many details which define an Alice Starmore creation. They might serve as a good introduction to knitting one of her full-sized sweaters.Fair Isle designs include:Fish and Anchors - unisex pulloverOriental Flower - unisex cardiganCats & Mice - unisex pullover vestMagic Carpet - pullover with intarsia and some duplicate stitch; unisexElephants - buttoned sleeveless vest; unisexSingle color designs include:Child's Mendocino - easy to knit cardigan: cables in bodice, plus a collar; charming oversized for a girl's coat!Western Seas - traditional fisherman's gansey with collar & underarm gussets; unisexSand Dollar - elegant dress for ages 6 - 9; knit/purl designs overall with travelling cables added in bodiceClassic Aran - ages 2 - 7 unisexSecret Garden - ages 2 - 7; feminine lightweight coat, single button at neckVery clear, large illustrations showing how to knit multi-color ribbing, make steeks, pick up for knitting after a steek is cut; grafting shoulders in color work, all stitches used in each design - even M1This very charming book is lavishly illustrated, and each design chapter begins with a selection from such authors as Robert Louis Stevenson, Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde, Edward Lear, Frances Hodgson Burnett and others. When I first received the book, I immediately sat down and read all these one-page (generally!) selections evoking childhood memories.A precious book indeed! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for children *by K***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 1, 2020* Besides a whole range of beautiful children's patterns for knitters of all different skill levels, find here a variety of timeless designs which can be adapted for adults too. Some of the dresses and long cardigans were originally created for adults and were adapted to fit children for this book. If you are handy with a calculator and able to use your gauge swatch to determine the correct number of stitches for an adult-size, you can adjust the pattern to make some of these designs for yourself. I am looking forward to adding several of these pieces to my wardrobe. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Starmore patterns and colors *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2010* I knew nothing of legendary Alice Starmore until I read about her in Adrienne Martini's book Sweater Quest. About the same time, I had gone to a girlfriend gathering where we all sat around together and finished our recent sewing projects, talked, and snacked. Two of the girls brought knitting projects and I became inspired to relearn the knitting process I had been taught as a child. Gradually I became fascinated with the craft and can't seem to get enough history, blogs, shared information. Starmore's patterns are beautiful, colorful, and very detailed. Starmore's designs are in the expert level of the knitting universe, but to take in her work and her ideas, is very satisfying. I haven't tried any of her designs, I'm at the contemplating stage. Her books are out of print, so they must be sought on resale sites. The Children's Collection is charmingly written, each project introduced with a poem and showcased with photos shot in breathtaking scenery.
