I love the way the author incorporates the Austen character references with the era-inspired patterns. The book is laid out beautifully and I've already earmarked several patterns for my queue - this book is definitely on my wishlist for my home library (unfortunately I have to return it to the library today...I may keep it a few more days and just pay the late fee (library donation). I recommend this for any Jane Austen fan and crochet enthusiast - you don't have to be both to fully enjoy.
