Child abuse is a silent epidemic many people do not want to talk about, but the fact remains: In the United States alone more than 3 million reports of child abuse and neglect are made each year. As a victim herself, Roxanna Moreno of California understands the mental and physical trauma caused by child abuse, which is what led her to put her new-found crochet talents to use helping other victims.

Learn to Crochet With Glass by Georgia Wild highlights a unique new technique where you embed glass stones into your crochet work. Crocheters who like to try new techniques will love this book.
This book has lots of step-by-step instructions and beautiful color photos. Choose from fashion accessories like a luscious scarf, must-have jewelry and home accents like a beautiful doily and table settings. Crochet designs are made using Kreinik fine metallic thread, sizes 3 and 10 crochet cotton and bulky-weight yarn. You will find that any size thread or yarn can be used.
The 13 crochet patterns found in the pattern book are designed around the stones. It's a new way of inserting glass into crochet that's never been done! The basic technique for embedding glass in crochet designs involves covering two rings (metal or plastic) with single crochet and chain stitches, and then joining the rings together to a certain point; then the crocheter inserts or embeds a glass stone between the rings. The crochet pattern evolves around the embedded glass after that. This technique makes for an interesting look and adds a bit of glitz to your crochet projects.
