5.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly!, 5 May 2003
By A. Chisholm (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Simple Crochet (Paperback)
This book inspires you to create something really up to the minute. The three (yes only three!) basic stitches are clearly illustrated with simple wording that makes them very easy to follow. If crochet was something that you saw at your school bring and buy sale then - get over it with this book. Take a wonderful, useful craft into the 21st century and cherish your new groovy stuff - house guests will think you've spent a fortune when all you've done is popped into the post office for a couple of balls of string!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning home items may inspire you to crochet, 19 Sep 2003
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Simple Crochet (Paperback)
This is a handsome book by craft author Erika Knight. Her style is "natural"--neutral colors, simple lines. In "Simple Crochet" she employs mostly single crochet stitch, very simple indeed, and makes a number of home projects that look very stylish.

There are slippers and pillows and an appealing throw in a grandma square style, but in colors that would accent any modern room done in rustic colors. If you don't crochet, this may inspire you. If you do crochet, use this book for stunning gifts and home decor items.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and practical - Mostly, 18 Jun 2007
By R. Hallsworth (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Simple Crochet (Paperback)
The first impression of this book is that it is meant to inspire beginners with its stunning combinations of colours and textures. As a beginner myself I was also drawn to it for its no-nonsense black and white instructional photos and modern projects (although there are slight lapses with the string bottle covers and towel edging). For being able to teach me to crochet I would give it 5 stars because I've been crocheting like a mad woman ever since.

However, many of the projects are using Rowan Yarn; Beautiful and expensive yarn. There are some projects in the book that I think most people who own the book will never attempt because they need £70 - £80 worth of yarn (namely for the throws projects), which seems odd for a beginner's book to have. On the other hand there are some stunning projects using everyday string, lengths of fabric and raffia which helps the reader think out side of the ordinary.

Despite having projects I will never attempt I love this book. I love the photography and the clear instructions. It's lovely book to browse through and the projects generally have a lot of mileage. I know I'll keep making the string market bag for years to come.

This is a lovely looking book and well worth the money. The projects are well thought out but I do not think it will suit a beginner as there are not enough illustrations to help... Read more
