5.0 out of 5 stars Here is a book written by Fiber artists, May 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Crochet Workbook (Paperback)

The Crochet Workbook by Sylvia Cosh and James Walters, is not for the faint of heart! If you want to unshackle yourself from the constraints of patterns and release your creative spirit,Cosh and Walters will show you how. Beautifully illustrated with color photos and drawings, you'll soon be crocheting with the left side of your brain. Free-form designing is like turning your yarn world upside down. Turn to Mother Nature for inspiration.Is that a sycamore tree? No, it's the back of my sweater! What about that moth? It's a wallhanging!After working with this book, crochet will become more of an expression of self, rather than a mere hobby. Beginners to advanced will find this book fulfilling.

5.0 out of 5 stars A major resource in freeform design for crocheters, July 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Crochet Workbook (Paperback)

This is a must-have for those who want to explore freeform design in crochet, and by extension, in other textile disciplines. Sylvia Cosh's presentation of building on form and developing structures opens the field for your own directions. It is one of my major resources in teaching freeform crochet.

This review is from: The Crochet Workbook (Paperback)

This is an amazing book, looking at crochet more as form than function. This is for the crocheter who wants to try something a bit different but needs a little guidance or perhaps a little inspiration. This is not a typical project book (make this doily, try this afghan) but something that treats crochet as an art form.
