I have been wanting to buy A Fourth Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G Walker (Schoolhouse Press). I asked for it for my birthday, not expecting to get it and it arrived! Marvellous!
It's a book aimed at those who already know how to knit and want to be able to design patterns. It has a comprehensive section on charts and how to understand them with a key of symbols for lace and 80 (yes 80!) cables.
There's an interesting section on garter stitch and lots of information on what you can do with it, with lots of mosaic style samplers. The lace and cable patterns are beautiful and would create interest in many garments.
I reccommend it to anyone interested in designing knitwear and for those who want to understand charted cable patterns more effectively.
