Finally stylish patterns

I was delighted to flip through the pages of this book because there were so many items that were refreshingly new. There were no tired old "granny" type items that are too abundant in the marketplace. I already made one sweater and was thrilled to give it as a gift. Only constructive criticism is: I would enjoy seeing each piece drawn (with measurements) prior to joining them. I am an intermediate-level crocheter, and this would greatly assist my skill level. And just because I was thrilled with this book, I purchased another by the same author. I so look forward to many fun hours crocheting.
