This was a total impulse purchase; I saw it reviewed in a crochet magazine and thought it looked like the most fun craft book ever. The book impulse purchase then spawned a crochet thread impulse purchase spree (thank goodness they're cheap) and I've been micro-crocheting away for a week or two now.
I haven't tried every motif in the book, but I've tried a bunch and they all work well, with clear instructions and accurate diagrams. They also scale up to regular yarn quite well. I'm not sure if I'll ever make up the finished jewelry projects, but having made textile jewelry before, her instructions look clear and accurate to me. The motifs are just adorable.
Do pay attention to the difference between UK and US crochet terminology (ie. a UK double crochet is a US single crochet); the diagrams will tell you when and how much to yarn-over, so you should be fine.
I've so far made a number of the flower and leaf motifs, one of the blanket squares (so tiny! about the size of a fingernail), a butterfly, and a few clouds. I think next I'm going to try the mini teapot and teacup because they are just too cute for words and I love tea.

This book is full of a variety of cute motifs that can be sized up or done in micro. There are a few project ideas and they can also be used as jewelry, appliqués, etc.
This is meant for people that already know how to crochet, and there are a mix of difficulty levels. The only problem for me is that it's written in British crochet. So, American readers beware that while the book does include symbol charts (which are the same) all the word directions are in British. If you don't know what that means, she does include a translation chart in the back of the book.

This book has super cute patterns, but there were times I struggled. I am by no means a novice crocheter, but some of these patterns certainly threw me through the loop, especially the 3D donut. Additionally, I did not realize the book was written in UK terms instead of US terms until I was a quarter of the way through a leaf and noticed it looked funky. This is my bad for not checking the directions clearly, but it may have been helpful to notate that a bit more explicitly.

Adorable, beyond belief! I’ve never even considered doing crochet so small, with what is basically SEWING THREAD no less, but this book makes it look really easy. Not certain if my old eyes and big hands could do the work, though… but these tiny creations sure are cute.

Good clear instructions and lovely pictures. A great book for learning the art of micro crochet with projects to show what you can use the motifs for.

I do want to try some of these but mostly I think my hands will cramp. And what will I do with all the adorable little projects?
