Customer Reviews

Republish this book!

Like others, I call to the publisher and to the author of this book to bring it back to the public. I have a 1992 copyrighted version of this book and it has become a "bible" of sorts for many projects. Put this back on the market again! I have made many a projects from the pattern stitches and with the diagrams and symbols used in this book, I can easily look and decide if it will work for the project at hand. In short, this book needs to be republished and those that can get their hands on it or already have it, don't let it go. It's one of the most comprehensive pattern stitch books that I have ever seen.

Best Crochet Book Ever

After reading a library copy of this book, I knew this was a MUST HAVE book ! The publisher needs to definitely do a reprint of this book, as I know that there are many others that would love to have a copy of it for themselves ! It is a valuable asset for any crocheter- beginner or advanced ! It show us crocheters many different types of stitches that most of us would never think of trying otherwise and in an easy to understand format.

MOUNTFORD! Please find another publisher! I need a copy!

Craftspeople, we need to do something. Everyone who sees Mountford's book wants a copy. Let's write letters to the publisher--or find the publisher's web page and email them--or something! Nowhere else have I seen a book so clear about the steps to be followed in working a stitch. Never before have I seen directions for so many different stitches in one book. The photos and drawings are the most clear and helpful I have seen in 25 years of crocheting. Beginners, intermediates, and masters of crochet are all well served by this book, but none of us seems able to get a copy of it! Mountford also has a guide to knitting, of which I have always been afraid because of the difficulties I have had each time I've tried to knit, but I can't seem to find a copy of that book, either. I just know I could learn to knit if I had that book.If anybody out there in this wide, wide, electronically connected world knows why the publisher isn't coming out with other editions of these wondrous books, would you please let me know so that I can lay my knitting ambitions to rest? Many thanks.Good luck to us all.

The Harmony Guide to Crocheting; Techniques and Stitches

I borrowed this book from a friend and enjoyed it so much that I didn't want to give it back. However, all good things come to and end. I am currently looking for this book and would love to have it in my collection. If you have any information to help me in finding a copy for myself please contact me. The graphics and organization of the book as a whole are just absolutely fabulous. It's easy to follow and the ultimate teachers guide to crocheting. So please let me know if you can find me a copy.

Superior book for teachers of crocheting

Teachers, this is the book you want to get as a textbook for your beginners and your intermediate students. Mountford gives both verbal directions and visual "maps" of all the patterns. The color photos are great, too. Motifs, all-over patterns, edgings, and filet crochet are covered as well as Irish crochet. THIS IS THE ONE WE'VE ALL BEEN LOOKING FOR.
