I love this book!

This book has so many interesting motifs that I have added to my projects in many ways. The fluffy sheep and baby chick I added to soft blocks that I crocheted for my nieces. The possibilities are endless.

I wish I could give it 10 stars!!

Crocheters, you do not want to miss out on having this book in your collection! It is so cute, clever, inventive and wonderful that it is guaranteed to transform your projects.

I've been reading and buying crochet books for many years, and I really have to say that this is beyond clever. For me, the "Woven Ribbon Block" is the best. I've never seen anything like it before, although it is amazingly simple in its execution, the finished effect is fabulous.

This book is definitely worth purchasing! It's great.

Neat set of motifs!

Instructions are clear, and many of the motifs are different from other books. The uppercase alphabet is really remarkable. I did several different letters to make monograms for bags for a party, and they all turned out really well. The cover does not do the book justice. Pages are all in color and glossy. Flowers are not as nice as the new "Crochet Flowers," but other motifs are quite different from the "classic" ones and seem to be well done. The spirals are especially nice. A worthwhile addition to the crochet book library.

Cute & Useful Book

I am so glad that I bought this book. I am a beginning crocheter and I found the patterns and pictures very helpful. I am making the Amish afghan, which has beautiful colors. The projects each have easy to follow diagrams along with the usual written instructions. The motifs are adorable and the last section shows you how to put them together in projects. I love the sheep and the scotty dog and maybe some day I'll learn to crochet well enough to make them! It is fun to page through and look at all the motifs. Like another reviewer, my only fault with the book is that it does not recommend needle sizes.
