| Uptown Jacket |
by Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby for Shibaguyz Designs and Leisure Arts.
I am honored to be reviewing one of Shibaguyz's newest crochet pattern books, Cool Weather Fashions. Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby is one of my favorite crochet wearables designer. His designs are trendy, cutting edge and very well designed. Your won't have any guesswork when you crochet one of Shannon's designs.

| Wrap Front Cardi |
Cool Weather Fashions is no exception.
The designs in this book look fun to crochet. Each one is perfect for Fall, Winter and even early Spring. They are all classics with a new spin and can be your 'go to' pieces for everyday wear.

| Boyfriend Hoodie |
This crochet book has wonderful large photographs and easy-to-understand schematics. The shapes of the crochet pieces look easy to do, yet the details of these designs take 'easy' to the next level. Sizes run from X-Small (33" chest measurement) to 3X (53"), a great size range!

| Perfect Cardi |
I love all five of the crochet fashions in this book, but my favorites are the the Perfect Cardi, with it's pretty pattern stitch

| Vintage Opera Jacket |
and the Vintage Opera Jacket, with it's trendy bulky weight collar and 'over-the-hand' sleeves!

OOOO! I would love to win this book! I've been crocheting squares forever and keep thinking I should really try a sweater. I love the hoodie one, I think it would be wonderful in rainbow colors. What a great giveaway! thanks so much for sharing it!
Its hard to pick just one favorite. So its a toss up between the Uptown Jacket and the Perfect Cardi. Crossing all fingers and toes hoping I win a copy of this book! Thanks for the review and offer.
Oh, I don't know if I have a favorite, but I know for sure if I won this book I would go STRAIGHT for that front wrap cardi - OH its just lovely and COMPLETELY my style.
The jacket on the cover is stunning.

Wow, what a great book. I have been looking for some patterns on some sweaters to make for myself. I would definitely make the Front Wrap Cardi pattern first, I love it!!! Great Giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity and I will be saying some prayers to be the lucky winner. Thanks
Nice! I like that Perfect Cardi a lot.
I've fallen in love with Shannon's designs over the last year. Out of this lot, I think my fav would be the Boyfriend Hoodie. Cute, casual, but not too casual. Oh, and comfi.
I love the uptown jacket and front wrap cardi. They do awesome work.

Love the Uptown Jacket, but I'd probably start with the Boyfriend Hoodie for my daughter. They're all gorgeous.
