This review is from: The Portable Crafter: Crochet (Hardcover)
Although the physical size of Carolyn Christmas'(don't you just love her name?)book is small, the content is large, easy beginner items as well as something for the more experienced. What I especially liked was that there were T-shirt tops that even a novice could do, but the expert would be satisfied as well.
A good addition to any crochet library.

I love this book!,
This review is from: The Portable Crafter: Crochet (Hardcover)
Carolyn Christmas comes up with the neatest patterns. This book is a little one but packed with lots of great patterns. I have to admit, the baby hat on the cover is my favorite pattern, but there are plenty of tempting patterns in this book.
Great book, great designer - definitely worth getting

This review is from: The Portable Crafter: Crochet (Hardcover)
I purchased this book based on the other reviews. While there are a couple of patterns of interest in this book, I would not make the majority of them. Also, I didn't like that the yarn for the patterns is referred to by weight alone, and not by the actual brand used. I find that this makes it difficult to get an accurate gauge. I'm not a big fan of novelty yarns and there seem to be quite a few patterns that use them in this book.
