It has been a long time since I have treated myself to a new book about crochet. This isn’t because I haven’t wanted one: oh, no – quite the opposite. There are soooo many excellent crochet books out there; it is difficult to choose just one. One of my very lovely friends gave me a book voucher for Christmas, so I decided to indulge and purchase a shiny new crochet book. I love buying new books. I love the whole process, the browsing, the flicking through pages, the never knowing what delights are to be found between the pages. Decisions, decisions…I’ve looked at Crochet Garden by Suzann Thompson a few times, but always put the book back on the self, thinking do I need another crochet flower book? Well, yes I do! Don’t we all?
The book is full of hints and tips, even for experienced crochets. Who knew about needle-joining, for the perfect finishing off? Genius! The book is brim full of truly beautiful illustrations…
The patterns are clear and easy to follow. Though there are no charts. What I really love is that the book, really does offer something a little-bit different, from other crochet books. The variety of flowers to be crocheted and the use of suggested colours and yarns are just brilliant. I can’t wait to get crocheting…
Thank you Suzann, a really amazing book!

Ps – I don’t think it makes any difference (but just so you know) the patterns are written using American crochet terms, so you will need to do a little bit of translation!
