Lovely old crochet designs.,
By
This review is from: Crocheting with Anne Orr (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
Crocheting With Anne Orr is a Dover publications reprint. The patterns were first published between 1932 and 1948. The book contains lovely thread designs for bedspreads, tablecloths, collars, edgings, doilies, and other accessories. Crocheters at all skill levels can enjoy this book. Designs include a very simple design "Lacy Doily" to a very elaborate design "Irish Rose Bedspread". The patterns are old but can easily be used in our home decorating today. The patterns for edgings with fringes and tassels are very popular now and quite expensive to purchase ready made.

This review is from: Crocheting with Anne Orr (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
I ordered this book in the hopes that published patterns (as opposed to those patterns posted by random people on the internet) would be more accurate and less mistake-ridden. However, I was disappointed. Both patterns I have tried so far from this book have had multiple mistakes in them. Some of these mistakes were immediately obvious to me and fairly easy to correct while others were harder to spot and resulted in wasted stitches and wasted time. On a more positive note, this book has photographs for all the patterns and it is sometimes possible to recreate the pattern relying solely on the pictures. On the whole, I was expecting much more from Anne Orr, a highly esteemed chrochet artist with an impressive reputation. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Crocheting booklet by Anne Orr,

This review is from: Crocheting with Anne Orr (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
I bought this for my daughter, who crochets. She is very pleased with the designs and the booklet. Anne (Annie) Orr was a close friend of many in my family from the 1880s until her death, which was an additional reason I wanted my daughter to have this booklet.
