Customer Reviews

Love love love this book!

I have several books for making crochet jewelry, but this is my favorite. Not only does it have projects with wire (like most of the books out there), but it also has many projects using metallic/specialty yarns. Another bonus, the majority of the projects are things you would actually wear. I've made many of the items, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. And the 'how to' section has some of the best photos I've seen! I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to get into crocheting jewelry.

beautiful pieces for the beginner

Unlike the other crochet with wire books I've seen, this one is perfect for the beginner. It has 35 pieces to make including earrings, necklaces and bracelets plus some other items. 32 gauge silver wire seems to be the wire of choice along with #9 seed beads but she also uses other wires and threads and beads. Book begins with intro to crochet for the beginner and then helpful info for the new beader. She uses 2mm to 3.25mm crochet hooks. The items are attractive and by doing them, the reader should be able to move on to even nicer ones or maker his/her own designs. Each pattern has color illus, tips and other good information. End of book has lists of internet suppliers and stores. Crochet terms use Amer. terminology and the book seems sturdy with good print.
