Book Review: Animal Friends Of Pica Pau

Hello Lovelies!
As many of you know from following my instagram and blog feed I have been enjoying working through the patterns from a gorgeous little crochet book; Animal Friends Of Pica Pau by Yan Schenkel.

As I was working through the patterns, it got me thinking about finally starting the series of Book reviews that I had been thinking about for months (if not years!).
No time like the present, and so I got my camera out and got stuck into making a review of the book.
Hope you like...

Finally I just wanted to end this post by making it clear, that these reviews are entirely own, as in I haven't been asked or paid to make them...They are purely some fun as I share my opinion, a way (I hope) of informing others about interesting and new books available to us as crafters.

Enjoy your Sunday and have a great start to next week!

Wow! I was looking for those patterns! Someone in my town was making these cute little guys and I couldn't figure out where she got the patterns! Yay!
