Inspiring Style! 5
This is an amazing book filled with new insight and style to a very old craft. I am new at crocheting and I have to admit unless a new concept with new patterns and designs came up I probably would not have been inspired enough to do so. Her patterns are gorgeous! She makes me want to learn all there is about crocheting! I love the fact that she has "mini" stories about how she came up with her new ideas!!
