 alien headed animals are not my thing apparently January 14, 2008

Wow... what an awful book. If I could choose no stars, I would.
Black and white pictures, directions are incredibly difficult to follow, and every single animal looks the same. And they're all ugly.
Sounded so good too.
I should be ashamed of myself for buying this book. Once I find the return labels, this puppy is going back.
Cute-ish but not very user friendly January 12, 2008

The way the patterns are written are completely non standard. Rather than something like 3 sc, 2 hdc, (whether written out US or British style), or a charted stitch key (the way Japanese patterns are diagrammed out in xxxx rounds), the author made up these little stick figure things that I have NEVER seen anywhere. The lines are written 2 (stick figure thing) 1 (double headed stick figure thing) for an increase. Seriously, this is absolutely useless for the beginning crocheter. None of the symbology translates to any other pattern type, so there is no point in memorizing them. Some of the designs are okay, but I passed on the book, because of the oddball directions.
