Crocheting Book Review

 Recently I checked out this book

from the library,

"Crochet with Color"

by Kazuko Ryokai.

I really love the projects 

and couldn't wait to get started!

Then I realized that all the patterns

were in chart form only.

I've never tried to use a chart pattern before,

so I was a little lost at first! 

But I finally figured it out,

and now I really like using charts.

I'm so glad I didn't give up!

 I made a number of things,

including this lacy purple collar.

I also made wristlets to match,

but didn't get a pic of those yet.

 Then I tried this smaller collar in blues.

Both patterns were very fun to do,

and I would definitely recommend this book

if you don't mind using charts.

Bye for now!
