The Art of Crochet Blanket was certainly an interesting read. Carmona has taken her inspiration for these projects from a range of different sources, and it's fascinating to see how she has transformed each idea into a crochet piece. I particularly appreciated having the short biographies of the artists, and the glimpses of their original works, before seeing Carmona's interpretations. The crochet patterns are offered in the form of written instructions and (where appropriate) diagrams, and they looked easy to follow and well laid out. In terms of the designs, not all appealed to me personally, but I have fairly traditional tastes, and I think, in any case, each of us will always like some more than others with a collection such as this. Overall, though, I thought this was a lovely concept.
