Very solid. While I'm not crazy over every pattern, I've used a lot of the small motifs to spice up other patterns that I have. It's easy to read and follow. I do wish there were more animals, especially because there's an Owl on the cover, however, this cover a large array of flowers. I also adore the lettering chart, which I've even used in knitting. It's one of the best I've seen anywhere. So thankful that I got this from my grandmother.
