These patterns are so cute, it's almost a crime to put them on the floor! As a knitter and crocheter, I know how much time you put into your projects. I don't think I could bear to walk on them. I really want to get this book to make the crab. It's so cute! I'm a married adult with no children and I would make everything I've seen. Even reading the index has me intrigued. Giraffe? Yes please! Elephant? HECK YES.
