Ratings and reviews

So it describes the processes for all natural materials but youre not gonna mention the plastic that acrylic and nylon is made of? its basically oil and we just release that into the waters with every laundry made. But no, dont mention that... yeah im not buying this.

I've been crocheting for over 30 years but found myself avoiding or quitting some projects because I didn't quite get some of the instructions. This book helped so very much. Plus I got it on sale for a great price, but even at full price it's a good investment. Happy Hooking !😊
