Huge collection of stylish patterns
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book has a much larger number of patterns than most crochet books I have seen. There is a wide variety of beautiful and stylish projects and some interesting techniques. In variety, style and quantity of patterns this is one of the best books available to crocheters.
New Ideas and and Interesting Spin on a few Older Fashions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Lots of good pictures make it difficult to decide which garment to start on first. Something for a variety of fashion tastes. If all the yarns aren't available in your area, it's a little difficult to figure out a good substitute on some patterns. Instructions seem clear.
Crochet for the 21st century--finally!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I LOVED THIS BOOK! It was great to see crochet enter the 21st century! This is a collection of really fun garments that belie the conception thatcrochet has to be stodgy and old fashioned. Sassy little tops, very wearable shawls, a gorgeous wedding tunic - many designs I want to make. Crochet garments don't have to be clunky, and this is the theme of this book. I love the youtthful look of many of the projects. Garments are from several of the top designers: Doris Chan, Nancy Nehring, Tammy Hildebrand, Margaret Hubert --and thank goodness, there are not any granny squares or ripple designs here! My favorite is a spectacular necklace crocheted with thin copper wire with beads added.
