Summary: Prize-Winning Patterns With a Side of State Fair Trivia
Review: Maybe I'm prejudiced because my afghan submissions appear on pages 125 and 132, but I think this is one of the most interesting and unique books of crochet patterns that I have ever seen. This book is filled with beautiful photographs, great graphics, and fascinating factoids about the development of state fairs. The book turned out to be far more special than I ever expected. I think this cochet pattern book would be an exciting addtion to any needlecrafter's library!

Review: This is a beautifully done book. BUT the directions are not clear at all. Unless you are very experienced in crochet I would recommend another book. All the blankets showcased here are amazing but almost impossible to duplicate with the information they give you in this book.
