Customer Reviews

super crochet book
I bought this book on the strenghth of the other reviews. I think this book is great, lots of lovely flower motifs, spirals, a full alphabet, triangles, and lots more. There is also a projects section at the back which gives you some ideas to use your motifs. There are really clear instructions with a picture chart too if you find that easier to follow.
Most of all I bought it because all my crochet books on motifs, are from the 1970's and it is great to have a brand spanking, thoroughly modern new crochet book!!

201 crochet motifs, blocks, patterns and ideas
I purchased this book because although it only had one review it was a very good review. I am now adding to the list - this is a fabulous book and I am delighted I bought it. There are so many varied patterns motifs and projects that I am finding it difficult to decide which one to do first.
A great buy

Lovely Book
I love this book! It is so well set out. The photography is crisp, sharp and colourful.
There are loads of motifs to choose from, some of which I have never come across before so obviously Melody has been working away designing with her hook!
The book has clear English terminology - HOORAY! There are lots of ideas at the end of the book for using all these motifs, some of which are SUPER - just love that Sheep/Baa Lamb!
This is the sort of book which is great to sit down with plus a pile of yarn and have some fun just playing.
THANKS Melody for producing yet another Great crochet book for us HOOKERS in the UK!
