Difficult to use because of the poor layout,
By terrinow "terrinow" (Newcastle, NSW, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crocheted Gifts in a Weekend: 70 Quick & Lively Projects to Make (Paperback)
This book contains some very nice patterns, however, I've been finding them extremely difficult to use because of the very bad layout of the directions.The strongest feature of this book is the quality color photography. But most of the pages are taken up by these photos and the directions are condensed into one difficult to read, solid block. The usual conventions of starting each new round or row on a new line and printing the word "Round" or "Row" in bold is not used. Consequently, the directions all blur together into one big chunk making them very hard to follow. More space should have been allocated to give more white space in the directions, even if it meant using smaller photographs. It's a classic case of the graphic designer not understanding that a book like this needs to be legible for the user, and that there are certain conventions that are expected of crochet patterns. Compare this to the superlative layout of "Vanna's Favorite Gift Afghans" and you'll see what I mean.

A fabulous collection of patterns for the beginning to advanced crocheter. Clear pictures of crochet techniques for all levels. This book contains patterns that would appropriate for personal gifts; baby gifts; gifts for a wedding or housewarming. There are also gifts that are suitable for birthdays; holidays or just because occasions. I recommend this book for all crocheters!

Quickly worked projects and a great book indeed !,
This review is from: Crocheted Gifts in a Weekend: 70 Quick & Lively Projects to Make (Paperback)
I love this book ! I bought it in need to increase my crocheting skill. Slowly but sure I did, thanks to this delightful book. The instructions are clearly given, full-color photographs and projects are challenging yet interesting to work on. Mostly, level of projects are ranging from intermediate to experience, but there's still basic techniques and glossary of stitches explained which makes it easier for beginners to catch up. Quick ? Yes, it's quick, depending on how much time you spend and your crocheting skill. I already done the potholder pictured in the cover, it takes me three days to finish it, working lazily on it about 4-5 hours a day. For me, that counts as quick since I haven't make anything as fast and easy as this one ! This book also covers nice gifts for the nursery, cute selections of stuffed animal dolls and baby booties ! A great book to enjoy, as a gift or as a personal collection.
