Make Christmas more personal by making your own beautiful crocheted
decorations. There are twenty-two projects in here including tree
decorations, table ornaments, drinks tags, doilies, napkin rings,
wine and gift sacks and afghans. I think my favorite has to be the
gorgeous angel tree topper, timelessly elegant in antique white and
the most imaginative the penguin lights! I love the idea of making
your own fairy lights. Each project is given in written form with a
large photograph of the finished item. There is a difficulty
rating, list of what you need, gauge and handy notes together with
the odd diagram. Projects range from beginner, through easy and
into intermediate with the latter most abundant. This is not a book
where a total tyro can learn to crochet, but a book of patterns
aimed at those who can read a pattern and know the basics at least.
At the very back is a page showing diagrams of stitches for anybody
who is a bit rusty and in need of a memory jog, together with
abbreviations, yarn conversion (ounces and grams) and what US and
UK crocheters call the stitches. In here you will find a pleasing
mix of traditional and modern designs that are sure to become
family heirlooms and be displayed every year. Make Christmas more
personal by making your own beautiful crocheted decorations.
