So I discovered an awesome thing at the library: they have crochet pattern books. Don't ask me why I did not think of this before, but I didn't. I think this is one of my new favorite things to check out of the library because, and I don't know if you have ever noticed this, but pattern books are expensive!! When I was younger and Google did not exist (what!?) pattern books were the only way to really learn something new in crochet. Trust me I spent my mom's hard earned money on those books and for the most part I still have them. What I love about technology now is those who are talented enough to not only create, but write their own patterns now have an avenue to share them without publishing a pattern book. It is wonderful!! That being said, there is still a place in the wide world of crochet for a decent pattern book. 
I have decided one of the features of this blog will be to review some of the pattern books I have or I can borrow from the library. This edition of the book review will look at Crochet One-Skein Wonders. This is a great book! Something I loved about the book is it runs the gamut of fibers, techniques, and types of patterns. I will be reviewing more than the patterns shown here because of the impressive array of patterns.
The patterns I was able to put together for this post are from the medium weight section and they were wonderful. They are easy to follow and fun to work on. Each pattern also included a diagram, which I have learned is handy when you don't quite understand what the pattern is saying. It is especially helpful if you are a visual kind of person. If you are anything like me and have quite a stash of yarn in your house, this book is great to stash-bust!
