100 Colorful Ripple Stitches to Crochet: 50 Original Stitches & 50 Fabulous Colorways for Blankets and Throws (Knit & Crochet)

It's book review Friday... time to wade into the multitude of crafting books I have and give an opinion.

100 Colorful Ripple Stitches to Crochet: 50 Original Stitches & 50 Fabulous Colorways for Blankets and Throws (Knit & Crochet)

This book with the super-long title is a bit misleading unless you use the whole wordy thing.  There are fifty stitches, each with two different color combinations.  Already, the book's value is cut in half... not a good beginning.  Then when you realize that the ripple stitches contained within mostly consist of changing how many plain stitches you do between creating the peaks and valleys, the book's value is lessened even further.

I was really hoping when I purchased this book that there would be at least one unusual motif or color combo, but there really isn't.  Skip this book... you'd get more value from a crochet stitch dictionary like The Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Designs: 500 Classic & Original Patterns
