I am delighted with this book. I can't read crochet patterns and do projects by sight (for 30 years!), until this book arrived about one week ago. I sat down with one of the more difficult patterns and started reading the instructions. This author's instructions are easy and logical! I am impressed with Kristofferson's ability to create a vision and put it into a usable pattern. I was able to make #13 with no problem at all, and I am already enjoying it on my little coffee table. The doily on the cover is striking, and the ones on the inside will not disappoint. And these are not tiny little coaster doilies, the one I completed is 17.5 inches. I wil be looking for other books by Kristofferson because of the ease of turning her instructions into a decorative work of art. Have fun with this delightful book.
