Who among us feels as I do about scrap yarn? No matter how little you have, you can't throw it away. Every little bit needs to be worked up into something! As a technical editor and designer, I use these small amounts to test and create designs, but even that doesn't always deplete my mini-ball stash. Let's use up those little darlings and benefit someone in need at the same time. Read the entire article in our August issue! |

I am so excited to add this stitch dictionary to my collection of resources! You would think that more than a half dozen similar books in my crochet library would be enough, but this one is worth owning! Filled with dozens of stitches ranging from gorgeous lace to stunning textural beauties, each of the 125 stitch patterns is not only explained in written form with crochet symbols, but it’s also explained without shaping, with shaping on the edges and with internal shaping, taking my least favorite part of crochet out of theequation—how to increase and decrease over stitch patterns!
Dora Ohrenstein is not only a leading crochet designer and author of several books, but her expertise as a teacher is also apparent as you read through the helpful information covering the ins and outs of pattern repeats, shaping and garment construction.
This is the kind of book I can get lost in; all the stunning stitches and ways to add shaping to garments has me dreaming of lacy triangular shawls and cozy sweaters I want to crochet!
Crochet Every Way Stitch Dictionary is available at Amazon.com.
