Tapestry Crochet

This is a great book for learning to do tapestry. It is very detailed instructions for left and right handers, with patterns, grafts and detailed instructions on designs. i love it, I have not bought an instruction book on line before, but i am glad I bought this one.

Learn a new technique

By reading the book, I almost feel like Dr. Carol is right beside me. Instructions are very very clear and easy to read. I recommend getting this book along with her new one More Tapestry Crochet.

Discovery Tapestry Crochet

Carol Norton has given crochet enthusiasts a treasure in her book, Tapestry Crochet. While it deals with a technique that, at first, may seem daunting, by the end of the book, you find yourself saying, "Hey, I can do that!" Through her clear explanations, graphics, instructions and photo examples, Norton leaves no guess work in the patterns she provides. I have produced a large basket and a small bowl of my own design, which I used as a sample in process when teaching others. Through the information Norton has given, I feel confident enough to go on to bigger and more complex designs of my own. But before I do, I hope to make some of the wonderful projects she has provided in her book. I look forward to other crochet books from this talented designer in the future.
