I crochet, but I've been wanting to knit. The patterns are easy to read and the photos are bright and clear. I have read the book these are from, so I really had to have it! This winter I think I will learn to knit...somehow! I have the needles so that is step one. Anyway, fantastic looking knitting book!

Not really into her Cedar Cove series but these Blossom Streets are very good. I like the characters and because I am a knitter, I relate. And I love the romance, people to people relationships, women's issues and family drama in these books.

The choppiness of the chapters is starting to drive me nuts, it is almost as if Macomber is trying to imitate Binchy's way of intertwining characters, but they have not come together yet at just under 100 pages. I still would have preferred if the chapters didn't create such choppiness, but I did come to adore the characters and when I realised the chapter was about them I got all excited to find out what happened to them.

I've now read (listened to) several of the Blossom Street books and I enjoyed them for simplicity and light story telling. I like the way the character's lives entwine. They are easy to listen too. My biggest complaint is that sometimes the author will take SO long describing a person's reaction that I know if I had the book in hand I'd be skimming.

I made Peyton a baby blanket from a pattern in this book. It was really neat knitting blankets that were mentioned in the novel. Of course I did things backwards and read the book 2 years after I got this pattern book.

Another beautiful book of patterns, some too complicated for a beginner but something to strive for and lots of fun relating to the books.

Easy read. Characters fell a little flat, which made them feel generic.
