4.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for weavers, July 4, 2006

Tinkerbell (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Color-and-weave II (Paperback)

The book provides an amazing number of weaving patterns. The diagrams and photos of each one help the reader visualize what the final product will look like. It's a shame that none of the pictures are in color--then the reader would have had a more complete idea of each design. Nevertheless, all of my weaving buddies ordered their own copies after seeing mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, May 18, 2007

M. Kosloff "MaKo" (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Color-and-weave II (Paperback)

Even for such a total novice like me, this book is so useable, non-intimidating, clear, to the point and it makes my fingers itch with weavers' lust, so to speak. Simply leafing through the book I noticed several clicking noises in my brain when I suddenly understood things, and concepts were falling into place that for me were so over my head before that I wasn't even interested in them.

I can't wait to try out some of the tempting patterns in this book!
