A Book Review and a signed copy giveaway.

Disclosure: I was given an electronic version of the book by Bonnie for review purposes. I did not review the videos that go along with this book.

Well isn’t this book review perfect timing, with most of the country in a deep cold front and some getting snow for the first time… ever. Even here in Florida I woke up to 33 degrees, I know it’s shorts weather up north but yikes!

I love all things cabled and Irish
and Bonnie has become the go to for Aran cable designs and education.  With the purchase of this Cable Crochet Made Easy you get access to Bonnie’s video tutorials for each pattern,  yes each pattern.  This means for the new to cables crocheter you have a visual to learn.  For the experienced you have a back up source if needed.

Check out Bonnie’s YouTube Channel here.
