The authors and designers; sisters; have produced some of the most modern and "doable" patterns Ive seen in a long time. This is my favorite crochet book purchase in the past 10 years.I appreciate the designers giving us their ideas and patterns. Their ideas encouraged me to create an extra edging of a piece I am working on currently. I am just dying to start one; two; or three of the patterns in this book. I also appreciate the convenience and ease of some the patterns. They use readily available yarns; many of which are inexpensive namebrands that you can find at your local craft store and there are patterns for Intermediate Beginners and up.Love it!!!

Fun and refreshing twists for the classicsBy pamela c. shorterWhat Ive enjoyed about this book is that it gave me a fresh; new appreciation for worsted weight yarn. For example; I love Red Heart Super Saver yarns because of their vibrant color palettes and availability; but theyre not exactly pratical and tend make stiffer garments. This book has allowed me to use an array of yarns; including Red Heart; giving me wonderful results. The patterns are fairly easy to follow and this book takes care of that quick project "itich" when one wants somthing cute in a hurry. While some things in this book probably wouldnt work for me because im over 40; but having crocheted for over 30 years; I find this book refreshing. The only thing that I would suggest is that you read through the patterns. Although theyre fairly straight forward and simple; like with any knitted or crocheted project; its a good idea to understand exactly what youre dealing with. Nevertheless; play with the patterns and have fun!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy L Simmonscute crochet patterns
