I suspect very many of you are like me: and have shelves and shelves full of books. It has been my thought to gradually, over time, to blog reviews of each of them (well the crochet ones: other wise reviewing ALL of them would be a whole new blog). So far in the year (yes it really has been almost a year) of blogging I have reviewed a grand total of one book that is devoted just to crochet.
So, here is number two...
This is one of my favourite, fall back books. When you are reading a pattern, or wanting to crochet something beautiful, this is the book that takes you back to basics and offers you an array of stitches to chose from. It has an amazing illustrated stitch index, making it really reader friendly. Each stitch is then explained in detail and charted. My only negative here is that some of the charts are printed in yellow. Yellow on white printing, is something which I struggle with.
On one of those mad days I did come up with the idea to crochet my way through the book. Then after mastering each of the 200 stitches (including the section on Tunisian crochet) I could call myself a real-life, proper, grown-up crocheter. Need-less-to-say this is one of those things that I haven't yet got around to doing!
This book should be on all crocheters' book shelves, as it is brilliant as a book for beginners and equally good for those with more knowledge.
