The Crochet Crowd: Inspire, Created, Celebrate by Michael Sellick, Daniel Zondervan
Book starts out with table of contents then introduction and about the authors and just how the crochet crowd came about.
So many personal details and about how crocheting saved him while growing up. So sad to hear of the tragic upbringing and then again so very happy about how crochet saved him.
So many items in this book I want to make. Patterns are easy for all and even though they have row by row instructions there is also the option to use the chart to crochet.
Very colorful photos of the items. Each patterns starts with a paragraph about the item.
List of what you will need: yarn, hooks, other notions are listed. Special stitches are explained along with other notes for the pattern.
Instructions per round or row start the pattern and you can also use the chart format included.
Charts include stitch key. Photos with people in them they are all so happy, they must love what they are doing.
Like hearing of the idea of crochet cruises and swapping a square with others to make your own charity afghan or give it as a gift to another.
Love yarn tales stories, so cool!
1800's Ireland and potato famine and how Irish crochet came about.
Love the idea of the craft shows and how to watch and listen to what it is people want to buy.
Tips about how to be a success at the craft show is included!
Abbreviations are listed at the end and they explain how to make the stitches.
Tunisian abbreviations are also included with explanations of the stitches.
Resources via YouTube channel are listed. Acknowledgements and thanks lists yarn testers.
Love how the colors of the yarn tell a story along with just the right pattern.
Links online of where to find the authors are included.
Great resource book and pattern collection to keep on hand.
A KEEPER!
I received this review copy from Nimbus Publishing, MacIntyre Purcell Publishing Inc. via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
