Take Up Crochet
Reviewer: Patricia from Baltimore, MD USA
I bought this book originally because of the low price and because the cover art made me curious. I was very pleased with the patterns featured and the clear concise instructions. I have been crocheting for about 30 years and it's very unusual to find patterns that are as well written as in "Take Up Crochet". It's a great book for somebody new to crochet, but it's also great for an "old dog" such as myself to learn some new tricks.

Floral Crochet

Floral Crochet is a Dover Publications reprint of floral thread designs from the 1940's and 1950's. The introductions states that this book is a compilation of some of the best floral patterns from this period. All of the designs are thread. Designs include bedspreads, table cloths, doilies, edgings, vanity sets, placemats, and pillows. I would not recommend the book to someone new to crocheting with thread. It's a shame this book does not have color photographs it would be a feast for the eyes! The vanity sets were particularly interesting as I have not seen many patterns for them. There is also instructions for a doily done in a technique called Crocheted Tatting which is very unusual. There are some designs using a crocheted cutwork technique and several doilies with fabric centers. This is a wonderful book to make some special treasures for your home.
