Fast delivery, came in perfect condition, I'm still enjoying it and learning a lot. The person on the DVD is clear, it is shown close caption. She has you going at you own pace. This DVD would be good for anyone at any level of crotcheting, Amazon sent this with quick delivery and I give them a 5 star as well....If you purchase this DVD, you won't regret it.

Alpaca Crochet Fringe Poncho I purchased this as a girt for my daughter. No place in the description or the picture did I see that this was not a full poncho. I ex- pected equal sides, front and back with pointed bottoms. I was extremely disappointed to find the back is no more than cover for the shoulders. This not only looks atupid, it will not serve the purpose for which it was intended. That is to protect her (front and back) when the air conditioner vents in the ceiling are blowing on her. In all fairness, the quality is very good. But for $99.00 I'd like a whole poncho.

Wow! This book is great. This book was better than anticipated and that is always a plus. Not only are there flowers in this book but there are vegetables also. I can't wait to make the peas, carrots and asparagus to decorate my gardening hat with. What fun! The book is laid out well, also. Items that are similar are placed together so that you can look at and compare them easily. The book is not for beginners as the crochet patterns require at least an intermediate skill to understand them but for a true hobbyist, this book is marvelous. It is one of the few times I've purchased a book that ended up being much better than I thought it would be.

The patterns in the book are well written and demonstrated with wonderful pictures. I like that the patterns are organized according to their difficulty levels. I've done several flowers without problems, even the advanced levels although I consider myself in an intermediate level.

I thought these patterns were going to be over my head but they're not! Fun, easy, well-written and a million inspirational ideas!

I loved this book except for one thing; too many of them were instructions for crochet, which I do not do well. I would have loved to have had all patterns written out for crochet and knitting

I have been crocheting and knitting for a long time. This book has beautiful and easy to make flowers. Any level crochet or knitter can make the flowers. It also has butterfiles and other insects that add to the beauty of the garden. Love this book.

This is an excellent book. Really good patterns, especially for freeform crochet. I like the grouping of colour schemes and shapes, giving one plenty of ideas for projects.

Beautiful book, but even better, well written, and full of useful information. I liked that the pictures were made of plain, easy to see yarn, but some show off pics of some finished projects would have been nice too. I loved the layout ideas pages, and all the unusual shapes. I would buy this for anyone who already loves to crochet, its a little advanced for beginners. The large pictures, and spiral binding make this very useful for using while you are working and trying to learn to use the patterns and motifs. A nice "lap size" as well, the typeset is large enough I can easily read it laying on my lap with no eye strain. Nice closeups of starting and finishing points, as well as many tips for changing colors cleanly. Many tips and suggestions for making even increases and decreases, to get flat rather than cupped or ruffled finished items, corner treatments, and much much more. I love this book! I already own over 2 dozen crochet books and still consider the stuff in this one to be worth the price.

What an amazing and fresh approach to a crochet patterns instruction book! I love the lay outs, the colors and the simple instructions! This book inspires me! The possibilities are endless with all the different motifs - from scarfs to snowflakes...I want to crochet it all!

First and foremost the best part of this book is the color photos of examples! Great for getting you started on a new project, and the instructions are very easy to follow. Suitable for novices. Highly recommend!

There are magnificent motifs included in this book! I've started crocheting them up using a thicker yarn or doubling up and they make wonderful pot holders. I plan to make every one of them... eventually :)
