ReplyDeleteThis is a great giveaway Jennifer, I've wanted to write my own patterns and I looked on the internet but I couldn't find much at all about how to go about it. I'd love to win this book, I might even buy it if I don't win! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe mittens are truly inspirating.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is wonderful love the mittens also! This book would be a useful tool! Thanks for the review and giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous book! I'd love to make the crocheted socks.
ReplyDeleteI love all the scarf projects.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great giveaway opportunity. One of the things I would like to accomplish next year is to design my first crochet pattern. This book would be awsome! Thank you for all of your great videos on YouTube as well.
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn to design my own projects - especially charting the written patterns.

ReplyDeleteI would love this book! I have always wanted to make or most definitely be able to modify patterns. I am just not skilled enough to do it on my own, so the book would really help. I am in love with the Wild Leek Cowl!
ReplyDeletejust learning how to create my own designs
ReplyDeleteI think the stitch calculator would give me the most inspiration
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful book! Love the scarves! Thank you, Susan
ReplyDeleteJennifer I would like to ask a few questions. I love your ideas and would love to remake them and sell. NOT the patterns but using your pattern and also giving credit as the designer. You a scarf back a while ago and I love it and I think it was a everybody scarf? But could it be made into a blanket ?
