Crochet: 20 Most Eye Catching Crochet Stitches by Quinn Hale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have been crocheting now for over 50 years and this book surprised me with a couple of stitches I have never seen before. The spike stitch and the almond stitch.
Nice book. Good to keep in your kindle for a short quick stitch to learn.

This is a place for my knitting, sewing, crochet designs and projects. I have been knitting since I was 4, and crocheting since age 19 and I have starting weaving again, along with sewing. So this is where I will be posting those patterns too.
