I like Denyse's but so far have only made the scarf for a friend. I am loving Amy's book, have it open at the craft table at the moment. Still to make something from Lotta's but I just like looking at it anyway. But boy I really need a kick up the bum for the Sew U, because I haven't even really looked at, but you make it sound great, so I'm going to take it off the bookshelf and try again. thanks for the reviews. shutting up now!! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030160016734616788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-10047490587176366422007-08-10T17:17:00.000+10:002007-08-10T17:17:00.000+10:00Thank you for the reviews!

I've been getting my craft books from Amazon, too. I've found that I'm still ahead even with three books (incl shipping), since they're at least AU$40 each in the shops here.<BR/><BR/>And you're very spot on with your reviews!Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813025433410241050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-42815580184877310742007-08-09T08:09:00.000+10:002007-08-09T08:09:00.000+10:00Thanks for the reviews!

I've been eyeing off the Amy, Lotta and Denyse books, they will have to be added to my wishlist! <BR/>(and you're so right about Amazon being cheaper if you buy a few books - I can't believe how expensive books are in Australia!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-9585435608423116162007-08-09T07:54:00.000+10:002007-08-09T07:54:00.000+10:00It was lovely to read about these books.
