I'm in the UK too and got mine this morning- I had thought it wasn't going to be released over here just yet  [I think Amazon had sometime in April listed a couple of weeks ago] but I looked on Amazon the other day and it was available to order now 

I'm impressed so far with it- I haven't yet decided on my first project though, there's just so much to choose from.

I really love the colour of that- very nice 

What age to the patterns in this book go up to and are most of them for girls??  I've been looking for a pattern book for toddlers for ages.

I love it and the hat set too- what pattern did you use for the hat??

 I didn't use that pattern, but one very similar- the one on the cover of Interweave crochet '05.  I've made up an adult-sized one which I dyed with kool-aid but I really don't like the colour so won't be posting a pic of that.  But I adapted the pattern to make a scarf for my neice who will be 3 next month.  Its part of a set with a matching bag and hat.

I really enjoyed making this scarf- it works up really quickly and the pattern just looks so nice    I can't seem to get a good pic that shows the true colours of the yarn- it's all aqua's and greens- a colour called 'lagoon'.  The scarf doesn't curl at the end like it seems to in the pic.

I really like that  - what did you use for the strap???

yep- a great idea to personalise scarfs- would never have thought of using fabric ( have used crocheted flowers, etc but never fabric)

I finished mine a couple of days ago- I agree it's a really easy pattern and it just looks so nice.  Am going to look for my camera later today (it seems to have a mind of its own since the kids swear they haven't touched it and I can't find it lol)- will post a pic when it turns up.

Wow- lucky you- that's a lot of yarn  Should keep you busy for the next few months.
