Don't miss this addition to the crochet library! This book adds adventure and creativity to a usuually conservative art form. If yu are looking for a new aspect of crocheting and need some "old time" comfort and creativity don't pass it up. Give expression to that inner child and let your creativity take new direction!

A major resource in freeform design for crocheters

This is a must-have for those who want to explore freeform design in crochet, and by extension, in other textile disciplines. Sylvia Cosh's presentation of building on form and developing structures opens the field for your own directions. It is one of my major resources in teaching freeform crochet.
