The book is based on the 1, 3, or 5 balls of yarn. My Dots and Dashes blanket, is 5 skeins of Caron Simply Soft.
All the designs are shown in both written and stitch diagram instructions. There are several accessories and several garments, a few kids garments, a few household items. All in all, there is a little something for everyone.
I love this little Natalie shrug by Megan Granholm, so SWEET!

HAHA, I guess I didn't really talk about my blanket, did I? LOL. I'm truly in love with ovals. I just think they are so elegant and interesting. Of course that means that they fit wonderfully into an oval box. Paired with the circles in squares, it's almost like little exclamation points.

TY for the review! Looks like this is a good sampling of different creations and well worth a closer look.
I'd love to win this book! I'm just starting to make a project list for 2012, so it would come in handy!
This book is amazing! I've been following Robyn's review of it on her blog and can't wait to get my hands on a copy!! My stash is crying out for a book like this - if I don't reduce it soon, I'll be put on a yarn-diet. Yikes!
p.s. My copy is in the mail so don't include me in the drawing :o)
This looks like a book I'd like to add to my collection. You can never have too many ideas.

Great patterns! Love your blanket, and only 5 balls of yarn!
I still can't believe that there is a blanket in this book! It doesn't seem possible to make it with 5 balls or less! Thanks for the great giveaway, can't wait to see the book!

I love crochet patterns and crochet pattern books! So naturally I'd love to win the book~
Being disabled now, I have a LOT of Sit 'n Stitch time, and new patterns draw me like a moth to flame. ~LOL~

I love the circles and rectangles together. And it only takes 5 skeins! Wow!
I love all of the designs and really want my own copy! My 11 year old daughter was admiring your designs along the right side of the page....
Looks like another great stash-busting pattern book. :-)

Does anyone have further explanation for the fan details on the flapper hat? The wording is a little unclear for an intermediate beginner (like me) help!
Thank you
