Title: Worst Instructions Ever
Review: I am in the middle of making the first ball, what is supposed to be the easy ball. I don't understand what she is talking about. she is referring to the points on the ball with jargon that she has never defined, as far as I have found searching through the introduction. I am currently trying to do something called a herringbone stitch, but the only reference to how to do it are very simple line drawings of the preliminary stitches. At this point I have decided to just make up my own method that will look as much like the completed ball as possible. If I was going to have to just make up my own method, though, why did I get this book?!This text would be improved significantly if the author would be more clear in her terminology (e.g. what exactly does AH refer to??) and including photographs, at least for the first pattern, of someone going through the process of making it, especially with regard to this herringbone stitch.
Is the review positive or negative?
