I have a fabulous review & giveaway for you today lovelies! I was recently able to check out Crochet Kaleidoscope by Sandra Eng (ISBN: 978-1-63250-613-9, Interweave F+W).

One of the most awesome things to crochet are motifs! The very first thing I ever made was a classic granny square motif. They range in size, shape, can be a solid color or many colors. They can be used singularly or joined together to create other items such as blankets and other beautiful items. They are also super portable and a great way to use up yarn from your stash. Crochet Kaleidoscope combines author Sandra Eng's love of crochet and love on geometry into one gorgeous book! The book actually can be divided into three distinct parts...a color theory and design section, comprehensive charts, color wheels, and a crash course in color terminology.

The second section of the book contains an eye popping 100 different motifs, including circles, squares, hexagons, and triangles. Each motif has a a written pattern, full chart, special notes, and finished size.
