Worth every penny!

I just received this book a couple of weeks ago and have already used one of the stitch patterns to create a beautiful scarf for my granddaughter, and another pattern for a scarf for the troops in Iraq.

Awesome!

I wish I had ordered this sooner!. I have been crocheting for 30+ years and never have I found a better reference for stitch techniques. I had contemplated buying these for the past few years and wish I had done so much sooner. A valuable book for your crochet library.

Came from crochet heaven

This book has very nice patterns, some of them are found everywhere, some of them are rare. The patterns are easy to follow, I haven`t seen any mistakes yet. It`s a good reference book to look up the patterns, and also a good experimentation book to challenge yourself with the tough patterns once in a while. Highly recomended!(All these apply to V6).

For those who think Irish

A kindly nephew, after hearing me at a fmaily dinner announce how bored I was with my hobby, and how I craved getting into a new one, thought of me this Christmas and bought me "220 More Crochet Stitches" hoping I might find the world of, whatever it is, more exciting than my present hobby of rescuing abandoned pit bulls and training them to help the blind. Well, I'm torn. Of Irish descent myself, as is my nephew and pretty much my whole family, my eye was caught by the hefty section on Irish crocheting--oh, wait a second, "Irish style" crocheting which is a horse of a different color, for never in any of my trips to Ireland have I seen such patterns as these. Lovely they are, are some of them, and as I wrote my nephew, very dear, and yet I can't picture myself, even in tyhe direst of straits say I was reduced to penury and had to corchet my living so I could put a wee bit of a roof over my head, I can't imagine ever willingly picking up the crocket needles and having a go of it. Consider this, my friends, this is the first two steps of "Irish Style Crochet IV.16"

First round, "1ch. work 10sc into ring, sl st into first sc."

Second round, "1ch, work 1sc into each sc, sl st into first sc."

Not on my watch! Yes, after a bit I got into the sweet groove of it, as I imagine that "1ch" might stand for "one chain," by why not separate the numeral "1" from the initials "ch"? Why run them together as "1ch"? Looks like an itch to me! The finished product, in a watery green lace, resembles a leaf gone to seed in a old pool of grave water from a halfdug grave in County Curran. It's about the size of a doily, or perhaps a soup plate if you had such a thing in your house. Yes, I can see bringing in your needles when you're bored, perhaps if you're on a jury. (But will the judge or foreman allow you to bring in the objects of steel backstage as it were onto an empanelled jury?) Yes, have a go if you must, but as I told my nephew, it's back to the pit bulls for me, for there's never a shortage of the blind wanting a good dog with a spirit in him.
