I have this book in my library and have done a project or two. I really enjoyed doing the projects and thought the review did the book credit. Thanks for reviewing!!
This looks like a wonderful book I need to pick up, so glad you reviewed it. I had seen it once before and lost it. I am a big fan of texture and doing more monotone colors. This is just perfect for me.
I have this book and I love it. So Easy to follow . you should try it.
I wish I had gotten in on this giveaway! That’s ok I’m going to get the book anyway! I Love the baby blanket and the purse!

Beautiful stitch!
Lovely helpful review, I’m fascinated by embossed crochet.
I love the look of projects offered in this book. I didn’t realize that I could make these types of things with crochet. I have been crocheting for almost 3 years and look forward to trying some of these projects in the future.
This is one of those art forms, which has mostly been lost. But now with the help of super talented Crocheters globally and bloggers like you, we can learn the art and use these skills to create beautiful pieces
