Special Techniques and Stitches in Crochet,
This review is from: Special Techniques & Stitches in Crochet (Paperback)
This elegantly presented book is a real surprise. There are several innovative techniques in crochet presented along with accompanying projects by top-name designers. The techniques include: No-chain foundation, diagonal crochet, wiggly crochet, Irish crochet, knit-look crochet, and punched fabric. In addition to the techniques are 44 stitch patterns and borders. The book includes fabulous designs by Margaret Hubert, Lisa Naskrent, Bendy Carter, Susan Lowman, Tammy Hildebrand, Kim Kotary, and more. It is a good choice in adding to your crochet reference collection.

This review is from: Special Techniques & Stitches in Crochet (Paperback)
This book has a very nice set of projects and stitches presented. Unfortunately, for many of the "special techniques" no schematics are presented and the written directions are nothing special. The stitch patterns as well would benefit from crochet stitch schematics...at least a minimal schematic to give the reader the structure of the pattern. The pictures are nice and the projects have been described by other reviewers. I wish more time had been spent with detailed diagrams of the no-foundation chain start for different stitches. Definitely an intermediate-plus book and close reading required for all patterns.

This review is from: Special Techniques & Stitches in Crochet (Paperback)
I agree with the previous review. The 33 projects are arranged by technique or stitch. The basics are at the back for new crocheters. Full page color illus of everything and good print. Each pattern has skill level and type of yarn. For example the first pattern is a cardi by Hubert using #5 chunky wt yarn and the skill level is intermediate and it uses the no-chain foundation for the special technique. Most projects are intermediate skill with only one marked advanced. About 4 marked easy. There are some really nice vests, a few children's patterns, some afghans and a lovely wrap. Also some thread patterns, purses, and valance. So there's a good variety. In addition there are about 30 stitch patterns not given as projects. Designs are by well known crochet designers such as Hubert, Annie Potter, Bendy Carter, Martha Miller and others. Recommended for anyone who wants information on the new stitches and techniques.
