I have been crocheting for 4 years now

and I can honestly say that I still have so much to learn!

It's what I love about crochet.

There is always something else you can learn.

I must admit there is two of the techniques

that I have learnt previously in this book.

So there are still eight other techniques to learn.

Yes that's right you get to learn 10 techniques in this one book;

Bruges Lace Crochet

Tunisian Crochet

Broomstick Lace Crochet

Symbol Crochet

Hairpin Lace Crochet

Irish Crochet

Filet Crochet

Polish Stars

Tapestry Crochet Mosaic Crochet

Each of the techniques have clear to understand instructions

and clear pictures to help you on your way. 

Then you also get at least two patterns to practice the techniques

you have learnt.

I must admit I love the patterns in this book!

They look amazing and it's brilliant you can

learn each of the techniques in one book

and make some beautiful projects to show them off.

I have already decided that I am going to spend a month on learning

all the techniques (fingers crossed)

and make some of the amazing projects in the book.

 

The brilliant thing is the projects will make brilliant gifts

for family and friends.

So whilst I am learning I am hoping to make some

of my Christmas gifts.

I think the only problem I will have is not keeping them for myself.

 

Most of the patterns are in written easy to read format.

You are also supplied with charts where required.

I can honestly say there isn't a pattern in the book

that I wouldn't want to make.

There is just so much packed into this book

it's fantastic value

& so much to learn!
