I haven't gotten this book yet. I need to go to the library soon!

Has anyone else found some of the pattern hard to follow? I really like this book but I went through a stage of trying to make heaps of stuff out of it and failed. I thought that I was just my pattern reading skills not up to scratch but I don't seem to have any problems with any other patterns. I would be interested if this is just me or others also.


Thanks:)

I love it, too.  I've been looking at other crochet books and have yet to find another which contains quite as many makeable/wearable/usable designs as snbhh.

I'm currently making the Knot Ugly Shrug and had to change the increase method (instead of ch1 as indicated, I chain 1, dc in the next loop and then ch1 and dc in the next loop again, instead of making regular mesh stitch). So far so good and I think it has loads of useful tips.
But perhaps you tried to make stuff out of it before the errata was published ? There seems to be a lot of errors in the Short n Sweet pattern, for one.

I had loads of trouble with gauge when i made Cupcake.  In the end I just made a bigger size, and it turned out fine.  Eventually... 

Everything else I've tried has been fairly straightforward, although I haven't attempted anything seriously complicated looking yet (like frou frou, or prepster...).

The only thing I have made is the in bloom purse and I didnt put the flower on it I will have to post pictures of it when I get home and I didnt have a problem making it at all I love how easy some of the patterns are to understand I am so so glad that I bought this book I will post some pictures of my purse when I get home tonight ... I am off to work ...

I've had some trouble, but I always tend to get stuck SOMEWHERE on every pattern I do...

Have you checked online for the errata?

i have not checked it, i didn't even know there was one! thanks. The thing i had the most trouble with was the lacy black gloves. it just didn't make sense to me!
