cool book

Yes, it is from 1977 and some of the patterns reflect this partucular decade. But knitting and crocheting have not changed that much from then to now - just the colors are different. This book has over 50 projects, split between knitting and crocheting. As a crobeter, I particularly like the book as it has lots of crochet patterns. There are instructions for both knitting and crocheting, so the basics are covered. the first pattern in the book is the granny square sampler, showed on the cover of the book. By working these various squares, you learn a new appreciation of the varistions of the granny square. It's colorful and fun. There are some lovely knitting patterns but I feel like I can't comment on the accuracy of the patterns as I don't knit. I will say the crochet patterns are clear and conscise. If you are a knitter or a crocheter (or maybe both), this book has a lot to offer. I recommend it highly
