Super finishing techniques for crocheters

I am always slightly edgie when a publisher sends me a book to review.  That’s because I only will post reviews of books that I like.     As an author myself, I KNOW how much hard work and heart and soul goes into writing a book. I am not willing to post a negative review. So, when I get a book that has me doing a huge happy dance, the way this one has, I am a very happy camper.

super finishing techniques for crocheters by Betty Barnden

I absolutely LOVE

‘Super Finishing

Techniques for

Crocheters:

Inspiration, projects

and more for

finishing crochet projects

with style’ by

Betty Barnden

published by

St. Martin’s Griffin.

This book is just plain fabulous. Don’t be fooled by the title- there is just so much more than just finishing techniques in this book.

It’s really a source book of  creative potential that will give crocheters the opportunity to take their crochet to a whole new level.

There are construction techniques, collars, pockets, motifs, edgings, fastenings, creative touches, trims, alternative approaches that will inspire leaps of creativity, and tons of ways of making adaptations.

There are also some basic designs that Ms Barnden shows how to make one of a kind by putting together the wonderful stuff she compiled in previous chapters. This is just all totally yummy!

Super Finishing Techniques for Crocheters is one of those books that is destined to become a treasured companion for crocheters of all skill levels.  It’s amazing that sparkles don’t tumble out of the pages when you pick it up and thumb through it.

Do I love this book? Absolutely! Do I give it the total thumbs up? Absolutely.  It’s a good ‘un.  Top of the charts for this one.
