Praise for Robyn Chachula's previous title, Baby Blueprint Crochet : Flamie Award Winner 2011 for best designer, children. Nominated as Best Book of 2010 by Crochet Liberation Front. "I hope you'll take a look at Baby Blueprint Crochet and that you'll enjoy it as much as I do. For you new crocheters, Robyn is a genius and experienced teacher. She is known for breaking down instructions clearly and for visual crochet, which is the use of charts. Robyn's instructional section in the book is like none-other. I will use it for a reference from here on out. For experienced crocheters, you will love the ease and sophistication of these projects." - Spudandchloe.com/blog "As with her other books, Chachula pays special attention to detail in her patterns and finishing. There's plenty of help in this book to get you through each project. Beginners and more experienced crocheters will benefit equally from the details Chachula includes." - CraftGossip.com "Robyn is innovative in her construction and designs, while still down to earth and realistic about what little kids will wear. This book is a must-have." - PetitePurls.com "Irresistible, Darling, & Super Cute are what I would describe when surfing through this Fabulous Book." - Michael Sellick, The Crochet Crowd "We've all seen thousands of baby wearables, cute as can be, but Robyn has a very original approach." - Crochet Insider "Modern, Cheery, Useful Designs" - Annie's Attic Praise for Robyn Chachula's previous title, Blueprint Crochet : "Recommended for public libraries." -- Library Journal "One of the most educational (and inspirational) crochet books I've read...[the] quick introduction on the basics of crochet symbols and charts completely blew me away." -- Classic Elite Web-Letter "Chachula, a self-described visual crocheter, here marries her crafty innovation with her background as a structural engineer...She's able to lay out her often intricate designs while avoiding the lengthy mess of abbreviations into which crochet directions often devolve." -- Yarn Market News "Robyn's combined all of her technical expertise with an unleashed imagination, and one gorgeous garment is featured after the other...This is a beautiful book." -- Crochet Insider "Chachula brings her engineering background into the world of crochet, emphasizing things like shape, drape, and structural context to create eye-catching designs." -- CraftGossip.com "An excellent resource for those wishing to pursue blueprint crochet." -- Suite101.com "I am happy to see some new great fashion designs for crochet. This book has what many other crochet books do not have, Crochet Symbols." -- Knitting News "Directions for the projects in the book are given in graphic, not written, mode--which makes sense since Chachula is a former structural engineer turned crochet designer. Once you grasp the idea of following the design 'blueprint,' it's easy to do and easier to follow than written directions." -- Bangor Daily News

    This unique book was priced quite reasonable. The book was advertised as new and arrived in mint condition and in the highest authentic hard cover quality. It Packaging was very good when mailed. I also find communicating with the seller during the shipping process, which was a bit of a wait for a very hard to find book, was very prompt and inspired trust. I highly recommend this seller and will return for future purchases.
