      Couldn’t believe it when I got the message. Was so cool of them to reach out 😊

    Hi Alice. You really should give reading diagrams a go. It’ looks a lot more daunting than it is. It’s a case of learning the symbols but one you’ve done that you’ll be well away. You’ll definitely be able to do it. Great video as usual xx

      Maybe I might try it… it just looks crazy to me!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed the video Caroline ❤️

      I’ve tried learning the diagrams a go with a pattern that has both a diagram and regular pattern. That’s helping it click in my brain

    Hello Lovely Alice😊 What a lovely book, I have never made a blanket but seeing these lovely blocks is tempting me! I can't wait to have a look at the rugs one, I think I fancy making an animal rug - maybe a giant unicorn😁. I am popping over to DavidandCharles to peruse the crochet books - thank you to them for sending you the books so we all get to see them. It's great that they contacted you - and well deserved, your book reviews are fab!! Take care Sweetie ❤xx

    I was watching this as I put the last stitches on the border of a baby blanket with four of the fox panels from the book! Super easy to follow pattern and it turned out fabulous!

    Oh nooooo, I really need to stop watching your book reviews, that's another one I'm looking for the best deal on 🙄🤯😄😄 I love the different techniques it offers and the section for adapting the patterns to make different animals, my to do list is growing by the day. Well done on the publishing house contacting you and sending the books, it's a huge pat on the back and boost to the ego, you are obviously getting it right xx

      I feel like I’m just waffling on half the time but you all seem to like them so I’ll keep going! I really liked this book, it’s been on my wish list for a while so super huge bonus to get it for free… can’t wait to show off the other ones now! 🤩❤️

      Not that I have seen. It might be worth searching up the author of the book (Ira Rott) and asking her?
