I purchased this book mainly because of the 'Butterfly Sweater' (which I have just finished and am now making the 'butterflies'), but it has sooo many more that I like; it is well worth the cost. All the patterns are basically quite simple, basic patterns; easy to make, but have that little extra something different to make them really special. The illustrations are first class and, along with the brief descrptions with each pattern, are very inspiring. The directions are well written and easy to follow. I have showed this book to others and we all agree, the 'Spring Blanket' could just as easily be made for adults, just using a different yarn and adding on squares. I have many other blanket patterns with a leaf motif, but this one is the only one that is made similar to entralac. Might make it a little bit of a challenge to make, but that's half the fun, right? The yarn recommended for each project is also first class, quality yarn and if something at least of the same quality is used, you cannot help but have a good finished product. Everyone should have this book on hand, as some time, one way or the other, you're going to have a friend or relative that would need something special for a baby. Anything made from this book would, and should, become an heirloom.
