Book Reviews of Harmony Guide: Lace & Eyelets: 250 Stitches to Knit (The Harmony Guides)

Book Review: Colorful, but lacking
Summary: 2 Stars

After all the hoopla about the Harmony series, I bought this book with great expectations. I found it disappointing. While there are many color photos, I found the pictures lacked depth and contrast - I couldn't "read" the stitches. I see no improvement over (and a lot of redundancy with) the classic black and white Barbara Walker treasuries. (While they may be dated, there's a reason why they're still in print and rarely available at a discount.)

Let you think I'm biased towards black and white, a great example of good color photography that shows stitches clearly is the Nicky Epstein series of "Over the edge" books. Those also had the advantage of showing an entire piece of knitting -- you can see if a given stitch pattern would pull in or expand. I'm sticking with the Treasuries.
