Book Description

December 30, 2005
These chic contemporary designs by B.J. Berti will bring warmth, comfort, and personal style to your home. With striking trims and accessories, table decorations, and easy afghan throws, the book contains a project for every room.

Each innovative design takes advantage of today’s gold mine of yarns, beads, ribbon, and wire. These accents are all designed to contribute stunning spots of color, texture, or an airy touch of lace to soften or contrast with hard edges.

More than 25 projects include textured chunky pillows, a star pattern afghan, latticework place mat and napkin ring, zigzag tea cozy, multistripe tote, vintage pot holders, summer farm afghan, openwork table runner, appliqué bed cover and pillows, tweedy bath mat, autumn leaves afghan, colorful pillow trims, floral trim felted bag, table centerpiece, album cover, floral tiebacks, pearly napkin rings, dresser-top pots, and a wastepaper basket.

Softcover perfect bound; 112 pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!, April 14, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Total Crochet for the Home (Leisure Arts #4378) (Paperback)
I purchased this book somewhat hesitantly, since you can't search inside and no one had reviewed it. I took the risk because I have been crocheting for 12 years and wanted to expand my library from the afghans, sweaters, and scarfs that I feel most pattern books focus on.

This book completely exceeded my expectations. I think any crocheter would find several pieces that he/she would like to make. Although the cover looks particularly feminine, many of the patterns were done in rich, earthy colors and the pattern range will suit any decor, whether it is feminine, modern, or vintage.

The real strength of this book is the photography. All pages are glossy and in full color. Each finished pattern is photographed at least twice, with a full view and a close-up. At the end are twenty pages of photo instructions, with particularly good examples of finishing and joining methods. Style tips are included throughout with suggestions for personalizing the pattern. Although I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as a how-to book for beginners (there are no left-handed examples), any new crocheter will find the references very valuable. The patterns are rated Beginner, Easy, and Intermediate - having looked over them, I could safely say that any skill level will find something enjoyable here.

This is a must-have for any crocheter's library, and with the glossy format and trendy patterns, it would make an excellent gift for someone, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for beginners!, December 29, 2007

Dawn Campbell "DC" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Total Crochet for the Home (Leisure Arts #4378) (Paperback)
I purchased this book with the intention of teaching myself how to crochet, and I must say that it was amazing. The descriptions are clear, and the photography is very helpful. I would reccomend this book to any beginner who wants to learn how to crochet, or learn some new basic projects. The designs in this book are very cute and modern, not stuff your grandmother made forty years ago.
