The designer has done such an incredible job of taking real plants and turning them into beautiful and fun crochet creations. Her patterns are easy to follow and her pictures are stunning. They just make me happy!
I plan on making the snake plant first because I actually killed my real snake plant, which is supposedly super hard to kill. I’m a high-achiever over here!

This book is incredibly satisfying to flip through. Not only are the designs beautiful, but they got this crochet granny square adverse crocheter to start mapping out some crochet pattern ideas with them.
Having a pile of so many granny squares to stitch together scares me, so I’ve stayed away from them. But I plan on creating wall hangings and pillows, which have fewer squares and don’t seem so intimidating.
