For most of the sweaters, the patterns are so simple and even for an experienced knitter, it's a blessing to have a time-saving pattern or two. Debbie Bliss Cashmerino is a gorgeous yarn in lovely colors, and the patterns in this book are really lovely. I've made a seed stitch border cardigan in the Raspberry Debbie Bliss Cashmerino and it's gorgeous. Google the Matinee Jacket in google images to get to see a lot of projects completed. People love these patterns.
