Review on πŸ“š Jen Kingwell Designs Gypsy Wife Pattern Booklet by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor instructions not worth the price

I wish I had read the other reviews more thoroughly before purchasing this product. The blanket is nice, but the instructions are definitely not worth the price. More specifically, the instructions for each block are fine, but these are general blocks that you can read about anywhere. What makes Gypsy Wife unique and challenging is the way the blocks, strips, and sections are assembled. There are no instructions in this section, only diagrams. Just one example: I had to tediously go through the book to find the width of all the strips. The back says to use 2" and 4" strips, but that's wildly inaccurate; most are 1.5" and some are 1". This is really disappointing considering how expensive this template is.
