Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Crochet (Donna Kooler's Series)55 reviews

I still use this book
I've been crocheting for years and I still use this book. This is the best reference book I've read. If you want to learn how to crochet, this is the book to get. The instructions in the beginning of the book (info on hooks, yarn, and the stitches) are clear and explained well. I find Illustrations in most crochet books not always the most user-friendly, but the explanation along with the ...

Leisure Arts
Leisure Arts, 2005
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry
This book is excellent for any skill from beginner upwards in both crocheting as well as knitting. Many prayer shawls have been made from using the patterns found in this book. We have found the patterns to be totally correct. Although they are made for Lion Brand Yarn, other yarns may also be used to accomplish the projects.
Everyone to whom I have given a copy of the book as part of the ...

Great book - especially for beginners
Just started scrapbooking and it was very confusing to try and decide what I needed and how you go about it. This book explains in detail and gives great ideas and examples. Each sample scrapbook page tells exactly what was used to create the page and has given me lots of ideas!

Landscaping With Tropical Plants (Sunset Series)9 reviews
Monica Moran Brandies
Leisure Arts, 2004
Great buy for the Tropical Gardener
If you're like me, you prefer beautiful tropical landscape images over reading text about gardens. This book does an excellent job of that, particularly for the price. I regularly purchase books on tropical gardening, and what I don't want is another listing of plants, I can get that from the mail order catalogues. I like to see images of tropical environments that I can consider recreating, ...

My Favorite Crochet Flower Book
I ordered three crochet flower books, this is the one I use the most.
The instructions are easy to follow and if you do get confused just look at the clear colored pictures.
I made assorted colored flowers to sew onto the front of a T-Shirt.
These flowers and leaves were fun to make.
The book is just what I was looking for.

Building blocks of creativity.
In this book, Vanna builds on basics to increase your "vocabulary" of creative tools. Use it all just as presented, or use it as a starting point to make more varied and spectacular projects.
Vanna's Choice Color It Beautiful Afghans is a keeper for beginner and novice crocheters. The directions are presented clearly. It's also a super brush-up for the more experienced.

Rich Resource
Worth every penny. Packed with hundreds of techniques, variations on techniques, ideas, samples. Every time I open it I find something new. Instructions and supply lists clear and complete. I do wish supply list was printed in black ink instead of soft orange but it's ok.
