Oh, are you going to love this book! I’ve read, reviewed, and used other crochet books that feature floral motifs – but this one is special!
Caitlin Sainio (who also authored 100 Snowflakes To Crochet) has designed real versions of real flowers to decorate our world. This collection is stunning, extremely detailed, and beautifully displayed to entice emergency crocheting. Building on fire, save this book! Begin right now to save every scrap of thread you come across to find just the right tiny motif to use them for. You’ll definitely find inspiration in this book – but you’ll also find exquisitely photographed samples, finely written patterns, and clear graphics so you can attain success with every stitch. And, color everywhere! Sainio has interpreted nature’s floral colors in her own fabulous way.
BTW, as much as I love the flowers herein, pay attention to the leaves in this book. They’re spectacular!

Wish I could see the inside. Misleading with the “click to see inside” above the picture of the book. I clicked and it showed a bigger picture of the book cover. No matter what I could not see anything else. Anyone else have any luck?
@ Theresa: Yes, that image is very misleading, it’s just copied from Amazon.com without linking to the original page. Try here for the link: http://amzn.com/1250019036 (copy and paste in your web browser: the address is shortened because it’s a “permalink”). The preview includes the table of contents and the index, along with the symbols used for stitching (which is very helpful to see) along with some photos (the tea cosy is cute!).
@ CG: I really enjoy learning about new craft books on the market, but it would be lovely if you would go into a little more detail about the contents and maybe even include some photos!
As a fellow floral crochet designer, my hat is off to this author for one gorgeous piece of work here! If you go to Amazon.com and search for the book, there is a “Look Inside” button you can click. I searched for the word “Advanced” and it gave me an entire index of the book to look at, along with lots of page previews. Absolutely beautiful work here!
Attempt sitting to the edge of the strait again chain and lean back.
