FANTABULOUS & FUN CROCHET!

Without a doubt, one of THE best books I have ever purcahsed for crochet! What first prompted me to purchase this book? The 'unique' projects it offers. There is no way to pick a favorite project, because there are so many I just love! There's *COFFEE SERVICE FOR ONE*, it's a coffee sleeve with pockets for the little packets of sugar & cream! *EVE'S FIG LEAF HALTER*, even a cute & wearable top without the leaves. *MEDUSA SKULLIE*, too fun to wear just for costume! Having a barbecue? Then you have GOT to make up some *MIXED GRILL PLACE MATS*! Cheesburger, T-bone steak, Frankfurter, and K-bobs. Stitch which you'd like & add to the 'grill' place mats! The *CONVERTIBLE HAT/PURSE*, it's just adorable! As are the *AMIGURUMI BIRDS*, and they even have a pattern for the nest! Stitch up a *BAG OF ARMOR*, but you'll need to go to the hardware store for the materials! For those crocheters who have only THOUGHT about felting... now's the time to do it! Felted *FORTUNE KOOKIES*, and they're just TOO CUTE! NOW: As far as the layout of the book... FANTASTIC! Each project has a few fun lines about the pattern. The Skill Level, Measurements, Items Needed, Guage, etc for each pattern is in a lightly shaded box, and very easy to find. In the instructions, there is a space between each 'Rnd', so it's much easier to keep your place as you stitch. BOLD lettering is used very well, and you can easily find which part of each pattern you are looking for. This is one book I will be purchasing an additional copy of, as this first one is sure to wear out from over-use! A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CROCHET BOOK!
