   Jag blir inte inspirerad

   Jag saknar historik. Varifrån kommer mönsterpanelerna? Alltså, jag fattar ju att rent geografiskt kommer de från Shetlandsöarna. Man jag gillar stickböcker där bilder finns med på de ursprungliga plaggen som mönstren är hämtade ifrån, det saknas i stort sett här. Jag hade verkligen uppskattat några små ord om varje mönsterdiagram. Dessutom tycker jag att diagrammen blir röriga av att flera färger är med. Kul med flerfärgade provlappar, men själva diagrammen hade jag föredragit att få i rent svartvitt.
