I picked up the UK version of the book without realizing it and started making the first block last night. I kept thinking to myself that I must be doing the pattern wrong because my piece just did not look right! After looking at the book some more I realized it was written with the UK crochet terminology and I just needed to change everything to the US terminology and I would be okay.
A few notes, I am using worsted weight yarn and an H hook (5 mm) for these blocks.
The block I am making.
This was my first attempt, before I realized it was the UK version of the book!
My second attempt (so far)
