Review from InterweaveKnit winter 2004
"Scandinavian knitter Fredholm has assembled a folk book that reads as a knitting journal, text, photo album, and collections of patterns - all revolving around and inspired by colorful traditional Scandinavian knitwear. Patterns for garment in stranded two-color knitting and lace - including a pattern for a wonderful lacey tango dress - are shown side by side with pieces on the history of knitting in Scandinavia, wonderful photographs of knitted garments old and new, and a recipe for Very Swedish Cinnamon Buns." ... page 9
