Book review

I know I don't normally blog on a Saturday but I found a book that I really really like.

I ordered the book from the library and liked it so much I went straight on amazon and bought it.

The book is:

24-hour Crochet Projects by Rita Weiss

There are all sorts of different products using all sorts of yarn. Some of the patterns aren't to everyones taste but I'm looking forward to making loads of them :-)

When I make anything out of the book I'll post it so you can have a look.

What is your favorite crochet book?

Dog

My son really wanted me to make him this dog.  I got the pattern from "Ami Ami dogs: Seriously cute crochet" by Mitsuki Hoshi.  I have altered the pattern as my son wanted his dog to be standing.

Rose

I got the pattern from "100 Flowers to knit & crochet" by Lesley Stanfield

I really like this book but you do need to be aware that it is knitting and crocheting.  I can only crochet so am unable to do the knitting designs.  There are some beautiful flowers to make in here.  I have so many ideas of the things I want to put the flowers on.  Since making this rose I have put it on a brooch pin and wear it all the time.

Ladybird finger puppet

Another finger puppet from "Crocheted Finger Puppets" by Gina Alton. I'm really not goot at the sewing part.  I'm going to have to practise a bit more!

Shark finger puppet

I bought the book "Crocheted Finger Puppets" by Gina Alton.  This is a fantastic book with some really great ideas for finger puppets.  The patterns and instructions are easy to follow.  The shark doesn't look quite as good as hers but my son still likes playing with it.

First bag

The first bag I made.
The pattern came from the book "Funky Chunky" by Jan Eaton
I would recommend this book for someone new starting out. Basic patterns for a hat, slippers, mittens, scarf and bag. It then shows you how to personlise them. Step by step instructions that are easier to follow.
