Review #1

Great book and great service

I've been looking for this book for quite a while. I thought it was out of print but luckily an Amazon distributor had one used. Great service and they shipped it right out. Thanks!




Review #2

repetitive bland pattern book

I was disappointed by this book because I expected something better from Lily Chin. The only thing I will add to the other reviewers comments is that she showcases straight lines and diagonals in her blankets. If you like those kind of lines then this is the book for you. If you prefer wavy curves, circular shapes, or the romantic look then stay away from this book.




Review #3

Hey, may pick up that hook any minute now

I'm not a crocheter, I'm a knitter. I had not seen many crocheted afgans or shawls I would actually consider making until this book showed up in my knitting group. These are beautiful. I kept flipping through, expecting the popcorn lego strangeness so endemic to crochet design, boring blues and ranch color worsted, but instead here there are page after page of carefully patterned, tasteful brocade style richness. There are beautiful edging details, subtle color. Even my snooty mom would have been proud to own anything in here. Great book!
