review.....

Ruth Marie

asked me my opinion of the book I showed in the last post

as I said I was a little

disappointed in it

I saw the front cover and thought it would be more

me

than it is

This is MY opinion

and I have absolutely no reason to tell anyone

not

to buy it

but for me

UH HUH

or however you spell it

!!!!

:) :) :)

All the designers may be masters of their craft

but I don't like any of the projects

I will never do this

and you can't make me!!

hair pin lace

wrap around

goes so well with what she's wearing don't you think?!!

looks like the '60's and '70's are coming back

I don't want them to if we have to look like this!

there was this bead crochet

but they chose to offer this

example

crystals and a pink jumper 

seems she forgot her other sleeve

or ran out of yarn

and just tied it all together

 this is so '50's

it's for bullion stitch

and it looks like

MY

grandmothers

so beyond vintage

it's out

!!!

Irish lace

never can go wrong with this and I'll read through it

maybe learn something

this is the only thing that has my attention

it is done with 6 strand embroidery floss

of which I have none

it's overlay crochet.

I LOVE the knitting book I got

just so you don't think I'm a

gloomy gus who hates everything

Ruth

Your taste is different from mine

so you may love the book

I know I can probably learn something from it

there is Bruges Lace

and

Fillet

and wire crochet

and a few other things

....

if you lived closer I'd let you borrow it

really I would

I showed it to the hubs and he just looked at it

no expression

nothing

when pushed

he said

well

it's not you!!!

so I consider this the free one

because I wouldn't buy it if I had been able to see inside

and I did try

sorry

I wish I could be more enthusiastic about it

and as I said you may love it

don't know!

does this make me look fat

you know a chunky cabled wrap around sweater
