It seems like a very long time ago that I was approached to contribute to this lovely book. If you are a visual learner and love the Dorling Kindersley book style of clean lines and illustrated explanation, then this is the book for you. I would susgest that it is ideal for the adult beginner or for someone who would like to expand their technique knowledge. This week I had the thrill of spotting a copy of this book in my local library – that was a nice feeling.
I made two pieces for this book. A bright and colourful bobble stitch beret, a hat pattern I am really really pleased with. It is actually quite a fine line which divides a classic beret shape from a shower cap. I am happy with this one.
I also designed three baby rattles, aren’t these fun? Just by changing the ear shape and the embroidery you can make an animal of your choice. The photos are so sweet. You can also spot the lovely rag doll designed by Liz Ward. Beautiful.
I have put this book on my Mother’s Day list…along with new crochet hooks, yarn and all sorts of crochet related items. Subs to my fave magazines are also there!
I LOVE this book!! I actually am working on a review (and giveaway) on my blog in the next few weeks, Although advanced crocheters might be a tad let down, I think that is is a great resource and reference that covers so many different things, Really a must have for any crocheters library!!
Congrats on your contribution – and in Fashion Crochet – another book I reviewed on my blog! http://crochetnirvana.weebly.com/1/post/2013/10/fashion-crochet-book-review-giveaway.html
