Customer Reviews

Loved this book years ago!

Even though I haven’t received it yet, I loved it long ago, and used it in school where I was an art teacher. Nancie shows info simply and clearly. The students had just learned to crochet rope patterns, and boys and girls loved using copper wire (gen) 26 and of corse, metal crochet hooks.

Crochet and beads!

It is exactly what the title says, it gives instruction for where to get wire, what types to get, how to crochet with it, and several projects including some that are beaded. The illustrations of the stitches are easy to understand, and the designs range from very delicate using seed beads to some pieces that are very bold. It explains very well start to finish. Love it!

Very cool projects that you really want to make!

This is such a neat little book. It measures 6x7", so it can easily go with you in your crochet bag. The photos are fantastic, and the designs are very wearable. I want to make nearly every one of them. It covers basic how-to techniques, as well as what tools you will need and specific crochet techniques with wire and beads. The projects are: Bracelets (2) Necklaces (3) Sets (10) Purse (1) Baskets (3) Box (1) Instructions/patterns are very clear, and some include schematics. It is a great little crochet jewelry book!

pleased

I have just started crocheting with wire and out of the approximately 10 books I have collected, this one is my favorite. It has good information in it along with helpful directions. The pictures of the jewelry and baskets are beautiful. I like the projects because they are different without being something too over-the-top for the average person to actually wear.

Take your crochet in a different direction..

This book will certainly help you do that, try something different with your crochet. Excellent tutorials, color pictures, and enough in here to stimulate your own ideas.
