Review

"Crocheteing for Christmas Profits. Boost your holiday profits by making these colorful ornament covers. Susan designed these ornament covers herself." -- Crafts Magazine, June/July 2000

From the Author

I designed these patterns to make as gifts for family and friends. I wanted crocheted gifts that were easy and take approximately one hour to make. The book is small enough to carry around anywhere and the results are beautiful. With this book, you can take an old ornament and make a cover with all the sparkle of Christmas. Beginners to advanced will find this book hard to put down. Its instructions are clear with large print and color photos. If you love Christmas and crocheting this book is a must have, but don't leave it until Christmas to grab this little treasure, these patterns can be enjoyed all year long!

The thread I used for my ornaments is Twilley’s Goldfingering. Other threads can be also be used, but none give you the sparkle of Twilley’s.

Susan Allen did it again! Just when I thought I had found the end of the rainbow with her first book of crocheted Christmas ornament covers, she produced another book filled with new designs to cover Christmas balls. Like her first book, this one features festive photos of the finished ornaments and very easy to follow instructions to reproduce the ornaments for yourself. Her innovative method for covering the ornaments makes it easy to create lots of new Christmas decorations in no time.

This book is is a portable size ready to slip into your craft bag to take with you anywhere. You'll be ready to sneak in a few more crochet stitches wherever you go. The compliments I receive on the finished ornaments keeps me crocheting more! You'll find this book to be a wonderful addition to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for. Finished items are impressive, October 15, 2009

If you are looking for something fast, easy, and impressive when finished, these patterns are just the thing. Way easier than other ornament covers I have made.

I found this book very disappointing. I failed to read the description before I purchased this book. I didn't realize it was only 18 pages for $7.50. IN my opinion it is not worth that amount of money. Especially when you add 3.99 for S&H.
And to me, the designs were not that great.
