Review

Sept 08 From the outside, this looks like quite a traditional book of crochet motifs. From the inside, however, it is actually quite innovative, and has lots of ideas for unusual and three-dimensional shapes, interlinked patterns, tapestry (pictures!) and some original finishing suggestions. There are actually just as many creative ideas in this book as in more self-consciously experimental ones such as `Freeform Knitting and Crochet' by Jenny Dowde. Used alongside each other, they are a great combination for the creative crocheter! * Waterstones Newsletter *
