30-Minute Crochet: What Can You Crochet in Half an Hour or Less? Carol Meldrum

Crochet is a fantastic craft, it's quick, easy and extremely portable. You can easily stash your project in your bag and have it at hand for when those crafty moments strike, so no matter where you are, get your hook out and go. We've all got bits and bobs of yarn left over from other projects, so put them to good use and dip into the selection of mini crochet projects designed to let you see results fast. A perfect solution for those last minute gift solutions or if you simply fancy making a little something for yourself. The patterns in the book cover all skills and techniques. Full how-to instructions are given for the techniques needed to get you started, how to hold the hook and work basic stitches, working in rows and on the round, increasing and decreasing your stitches, also how to change colour, add texture and work open lace designs. We have included crochet diagrams, where required, to help you understand what's going on and develop your skills. So whether you are a complete beginner or experienced in the craft of crochet, there is plenty to keep your interest and hopefully something for everyone.

30-Minute Crochet Bewertungen

Sept 13

This book shows that you do indeed have time to crochet. It's full of great projects that can be finished in 30 minutes. This is the perfect book for all those who say 'I wish I had time...' All the projects are shown at the front of the book with small pictures. The projects are divided into beginner, intermediate and experienced so this book has something for everyone, no matter what your skills. The projects are very good, practical and useful too. You'll find everything from crocheted acorns, owl mask, finger puppets and scarves and a lot more. There's things for the kids, items for the home and gifts galore. I love the bunny egg cosy and the stacking pots. The little hedgehog and other animals are very sweet too. Never crocheted before or need to refresh your skills? There's a comprehensive guide to crochet at the back of the book. An excellent book to buy for yourself or to give as a gift.

So, what can you crochet in just 30 minutes? A quick browse through Carol Meldrum's book reveals that you can actually accomplish quite a lot in a short space of time. I love the layout of Carol's latest book, the project grid at the front lets you see all the makes at a glance and the photography is very clear. I can think of lots of crochet friends who would appreciate this book and I have already seen lots of autumnal crochet wreaths, inspired no doubt by the patterns here for a tiny toadstool, acorns and leaf motifs. There's a very useful techniques section, which I road tested at a beginner crochet class last week. The ladies all agreed they would be tempted to pick it up and Have a go, in fact I've heard since that two have added it to their Christmas list! The projects are divided into beginner, intermediate and experienced level patterns, which means that everyone can find something to suit their skills, and nothing boosts the confidence of a new crocheter than completing a project listed as intermediate. If you're stuck for some present inspiration this Christmas, this book might fit the bill. I can see it appealing to younger crocheters, who will love the cutesy owls, bunny and fox. For the more experienced, there is lots of inspiration to be had as many of the patterns lend themselves to other projects. You could add some crochet applique to a cushion perhaps or whip up a few snowflakes to make a festive garland. Published by Search Press and available now, this definitely gets the thumbs up! http://bakingandmaking.com/2013/11/01/review-30-minute-crochet/
