James Walters (1)Critiques

I'm a knitter, but I would also love to learn how to crochet. I can't tell you how many times I've been on pinterest and have seen something so cute but it's a crochet pattern and not knitting. So I'm on the verge of becoming a woman who can crochet with confidence.

James Walter has written many books about crochet. His latest book Crochet Workshop, is geared for people like me: people who need step-by-step instructions and visual aids. Walter gives both. He shows you how to hold the needle, basic technique, how to read pattern instructions and more. He even goes into more advanced work also. The only thing I didn't really care for was the pictures showing crochet fashion. They looked like they were taken in 1970.

I think if you're a newbie like me, you'll enjoy this book. It's easy to follow and it won't make your head spin!

the best compendium about crochet I have

my all-crochet guru!

A very information book that includes colored pictures of the finished stitches. There's quite a wide variety of stiches and patterns to check out.
