I am returning this book. The only word I can use is disappointed. It feels like a huge bait and switch as the beautiful costumes are only used as inspiration for far more boring patterns. The Selkie costume is stunning but the Selkie pattern is a boring colorwork cardigan. A full half of the book is simply a look book with inspiration stories about things that you won't be able to make unless you reverse engineer a similar thing. I have the feeling there are going to be quite a few unsatisfied knitters.
