I have just started crocheting with wire and out of the approximately 10 books I have collected, this one is my favorite. It has good information in it along with helpful directions. The pictures of the jewelry and baskets are beautiful. I like the projects because they are different without being something too over-the-top for the average person to actually wear.

This is such a neat little book. It measures 6x7", so it can easily go with you in your crochet bag. The photos are fantastic, and the designs are very wearable. I want to make nearly every one of them.
It covers basic how-to techniques, as well as what tools you will need and specific crochet techniques with wire and beads.

The projects are:
Bracelets (2)
Necklaces (3)
Sets (10)
Purse (1)
Baskets (3)
Box (1)

Instructions/patterns are very clear, and some include schematics. It is a great little crochet jewelry book!

This is an excellent book. It is a very small book but what is inside is great! The pictures are beautiful. The projects range from simple to more complex. Instructions easy to understand. Great job. I just received book and have already completed one of the bracelets!!

Like most of the books on this type of medium, you should know how to crochet first and in the case of this book, know how to read a pattern. The designs are simple and depending on your taste, not thrilling. However, it's a beginner book. Let this one be the book you use to learn the craft then once you have the fundamentals down, let you own style come out!

I borrowed this book from my library. I found it so clear and easy to understand that I've decided to buy a copy. Many thanks to Ms. Wiseman for fueling my creative juices!

This book will certainly help you do that, try something different with your crochet. Excellent tutorials, color pictures, and enough in here to stimulate your own ideas.

It is exactly what the title says, it gives instruction for where to get wire, what types to get, how to crochet with it, and several projects including some that are beaded. The illustrations of the stitches are easy to understand, and the designs range from very delicate using seed beads to some pieces that are very bold. It explains very well start to finish. Love it!

I've read most of the book but because this is such a busy time of year I have not had a chance to work any of the projects. I am looking forward to trying many of them when I get a chance. The jewelry looks like fun to make and pretty to wear.

This book would be good if it is the first book you are buying on the subject. The explanations are good and well illustrated. The projects are relatively easy too.

If you have multiple books, I doubt you need this one, try the library before buying it. I found it somehow repetitive. And some project not very attractive. Some projects are tame, but not classy, and some other are just plain.

I also found the photo example of the finished projects messy. The photo are well taken, but the product seems to lack technique and order. The stitches are uneven and disorganized.

This book is great for someone just starting to crochet with wire if you already know how to crochet. My one complaint is there are no diagrams or in process images of the pieces, only final images.
