Review on Lace Crochet Motifs Traditional Contemporary by Morgan Gilmore

The instructions are a bit difficult to decipher in places but the items I've made so far (seahorses, starfish, seabucks and a few round pieces) have all come out beautiful and like in a photo. I'm used to making napkins out of yarn, which helps, but I find these compact designs more tedious (constantly having to consult a book, re-read instructions, etc.). If you're not intimidated by working on a small scale, here's a well-organized collection of stunning patterns with good pictures and useful stitch patterns.
