As an off-and-on crocheter, I think these patterns are adorable. I really like that it lists all the stitches and skills required for each pattern at the beginning, and am hopeful that the techniques section mentioned in the table of contents will be helpful in learning new things. The conversion chart for hook sizes and yarn weights is also extremely helpful, and I like that she provides instructions for adding a lining to a rug or making it a wall hanging. These patterns are ambitious in size, so I hope this book can guide me to success!
