I have been crocheting using this method for years and the book is great. I do have a comment on the Ivory Shell pattern that is shown on the cover. I used a cotton yarn that has the same 4 weight rating and the gauge is all off. I made the sample gauge and by the results, my creating chain would only be 74 stitches for the largest size. I am an experienced crocheter and was surprised by this.....If anyone else has the same issue it would be helpful to know.

this is a beautiful book with clear instructions. I do not know basic crochet at all, so I must learn that first before making any projects from this book. It arrived quickly and in excellent condition.

If there were a higher rating than 5 stars, this book would get it!
As a deigner, I write a lot of patterns, and I have to say, this book is so very well written. It will be the standard that I hold my future pattern writing too.
The pictures are very clear, and the instructions are very detailed, without being too wordy. If you have not done Tunisian Crochet yet, but were tempted, this book is the one.
The book has some great patterns, and makes it easy to test the stitch before starting the project. I can not say enough good about this book.
Tunisian Crochet is a bit of a mystery... Sharon helps to bring it into the main stream.
