Reviews

"The bird patterns are very elegant and life like. The photos -- especially the ones against stylized backgrounds -- are wonderful eye candy and also inspirational for creating an indoor "environment" for your own bird patterns. As with Vanessa's other books, while the patterns use simple stitches, the level of detail is quite high. If you love birds, or have bird lovers in your circle of "crochet-worthy" gift recipients, you will definitely enjoy Crocheted Birds."-- "Underground Crafter"
