Loved perusing this in book store .
Love the pictures of stitches! Helps to see them close up.. Thank you for sharing this book..!!
Amy … I own and just love this book. I wanted to add that you can also join the insider book club on the martingale website, get $40.00 in books for only $14.95 per year (cancel anytime) and that gives you an additional 35% off all of the titles they have to offer. That’s how I got this book and several others. I have been a member now and have NEVER been sent anything I didn’t ask for. All I’ve had to do id visit once a month to tell them I want to choose my own selection for the current month, then if I want a book I order it, if not … I’m NOT required to buy a thing.
Anyway, I love the couple of patterns you showed above with Martingale’s permission. They are a few of my favorite, but I plan to make a dishcloth in every single stitch just as soon as I get done with some baby sewing for my very first Grand Niece! Although, while in bed I can’t help but add a few rows before falling asleep, so I’m almost all done with the bobbles section. Thanks for a great review, Amy.
Have and love this book! Great to refer back to!
I love your site always anxious to see what patterns you will have
Thank you for your generosity
