As a designer, I am so inspired by color and good color photos, crochet stitches and beautiful stitch patterns. That is why my new favorite crochet book is:

Margaret is the premier go-to person when you want to know anything about crochet or knitting, so she is the perfect designer to have written this book.

Margaret describes the art of CROCHET like this:

"Crochet has its own defined look and the variety of textures that can be created with a crochet hook is almost limitless, from a very lacy delicate shawl with fine yarns to a warm cozy afghan with a thicker wool and larger hook."

 This book not only provides a reference for many methods of crochet, it is also chock full of incredibly beautiful crochet swatches and bursting with over 400 large color photos! Truly a crocheter/crafter/designer's dream come true!

 The photographs of the stitch patterns (swatches) alone are worth the price of the book. You will be truly inspired by all the delightful crochet 'eye candy'! I know I am!

This 2nd Edition includes:

"15 all new crochet projects
20 new stitch patterns (220 in all)
An expanded Basics section
Hundreds of tips and ideas to make your crochet even better than ever."

I LOVE just browsing through this book and I think you will too!

The lovely color photos ignite my creativity and fill me with such inspiration!

I was drawn to this particular color pallette in the book:
Below are a variety of stitches outlined in the book that worked with my chosen color palette above. Each stitch pattern includes step by step instructions on how to re-create the beautiful crochet patterns. Some are easy to do, while others will spur you on to create something quite interesting in crochet. I cannot wait to use the stitch patterns in this book to create my next crochet design!
