Presented as a series of technique-based classes, this clear guide offers thoroughly explained lessons impressively demonstrated with full-color, step-by-step photography. The result of years of dialogue between the Rowan company's workshop demonstrators and the customers they teach, the six workshops presented here allow crocheters to learn new techniques, refresh techniques learned previously, and update their skills. Each workshop includes appropriate projects, proceeding from crochet basics to lessons on joining new yarn, choosing edging patterns, shaping crochet, making crochet lace, using color techniques, and crocheting garments. The final workshop branches out into other appealing forms of crochet such as jewelry making and felted projects.
