In Loop-d-Loop Crochet, author Teva Durham brings the same ingenuity, innovative eye and solid fashion sense that she's always exhibited in her knitting design to the world of crochet. You will find more than 25 novel designs that bear the author's signature modern, romantic appeal. And while many of the designs - for women, men, children and the home - appear unorthodox compared to most crochet patterns published to date, they are all based upon classic crochet stitch work steeped in tradition. Each of the projects, which range from purses, skirts, shawls and sweaters for the whole family to a hammock and a pair of brocade boots, epitomizes Durham's signature design sensibility, which she describes as 'a tension of opposites - rough-hewn yet delicate, stark yet feminine, organic yet structured'.
