Another crochet book I have managed to get from Amazon after searching elsewhere for a long time. A lovely collection of doilies, bedspread doilies, lace and edgings. I started my first lace edgings using this book and had never followed patterns before using this book and one other book I bought from Amazon. Beautiful and great for crafters who want to make their own lace for card making, scrapbooking, fashion etc. This book is not just for avid crocheters or even long term crocheters. Such a good price for the amount you get.

This book sadly is not aimed at anyone who is new to crochet. The patterns are very difficult to follow with little or no explanations as to how to form the stitches. On the positive side, for experienced crocheters, this has some nice, if a little 'old fashioned' ideas. I am sure many of the quilt squares could be adapted into something a little more up to date. However, I have to be honest and say that if you enjoy filet crochet and 'antique' designs, there are much better books available.

150 Favorite Crochet Designs edited by Mary Carolyn Waldrep, is a treasure-trove of patterns gleaned from the past. All the patterns are made from thread and date bake to the 30's, 40's, and 50's. Many of the patterns can be easily adapted by today's modern crocheter. The charted "Eagle and Motto" runner with its' patriotic E PLURIBUS UNUM detail could be the basis for a great 4th of July afghan done in 4ply yarn. Pick out a motif from one of the bedspread patterns and do it up in yarn. Tack it to a tired old pillow for some instant decor pick-me-up. Worked in thread, many individual motifs can be used for snowflakes for a Christmas tree. There are also edgings that can be used to trim baskets and caning jars. Intermediate to advanced crocheters would find this book useful and beginners can easily grow into it.
