Great for beginners and experienced crocheters

It's one of the first books to show the artistic side of crochet, rather than provide patterns for afghans and booties, and it encourages the reader to come up with his or her own designs. Many fiber artists of the time are featured. Clear and easy diagrams, different stitches and techniques--a classic, and still one of my favorites.

A great resource to enable maximum artistic creativity !

Unlike many crochet books, this book is not a pattern book filled with cryptic terminology. Instead, it aims to help you in developing your own creative style through building upon simple structures and techniques, leading to unique and beautiful results. The photographs of the author's and other artists' works will open your mind to many new possibilities inherent in crochet as an art form. Grab this book if you can find it - it's out of print but worth the search !
