Review #1

Bypass this in your quest for creative crochet

This book is difficult to read. I have been crocheting for many years and still found it difficult to follow. Perhaps the difficulty arose from the fact that European crochet patterns are used. It is certainly not for inexperienced crocheter.




Review #2

Beautiful!

I think this book has some beautiful fillet patterns. I also like the suggestions it gives for modifying patterns & the pattern library at the end. For US crocheters, the British terms can be a little frustrating, but OK. I dislike patterns that are given by diagram rather than written instructions - as some of these patterns are, but, at least, they are clearly done.

To sum: The patterns in this book are elegant and it is a worthwhile addition to the crocheter's library.




Review #3

Not wrong...just different

Okay, I'm the one who wrote the last review and when I wrote it I thought that the stitches were wrong but it turns out that they are called different things in the UK. Who knew? Not me obviously. So I'm sorry for the confusion. The book uses UK terms rather than US ones. If you are used to the US terms it will make following the patterns more difficult as you will have to translate from the UK terms but otherwise it's an okay book.
