You’ve probably realised that I love to crochet flowers. I haven’t been able to crochet flowers for the last few weeks. My yarn stash was packed away ahead of the building work. I miss popping up stairs to grab a ball of yarn on a crochet wimp. While we were packing the house away, I was able to slide my hand into the draw: and with the help of a torch pull something out. I can’t imagine what state those draws will be in! For the last few weeks, nothing, no access. To get my crochet flower fix, I have spent some happy time browsing my crochet book collection: and I thought that I would share one of my favourite with you. This book is as good as Lesley Stanfield's; but in a very different way. The book that I want to tell you about is Crochet Flowers by the incredibly talented Nicky Epstein….
The book is just beautiful!
Full of gorgeous photographs of crochet flowers; in some of the most
amazing yarn you have ever seen. Each
flower has the crochet pattern, so you can easily crochet the flowers for
yourself. And most (if not all) of the
flowers have crochet charts; brilliant for those of us who prefer to look at
pictures rather than read words! One
note of caution; if you do read and follow the crochet patterns, they are written
in American; while translation is no big issue – it is worth remembering before
you start!
The book is a true source of inspiration, even if you don’t follow the patterns and prefer to crochet things up as you go along (as I do) I would recommend that this book is placed on your bookshelf. Go on treat yourself…
Ps – building work should finish today or tomorrow. Very excited to start decorating, can’t wait to share it all with you…
