Finishing Techniques for Crochet

Finishing Techniques for Crochet

The respected author/teacher Pauline Turner has created a valuable resource for the serious crocheter.  Turner and her publisher assume readers with intelligence and high standards -- a refreshingly enlightened attitude that would be welcome in more publications.  Pauline's knowledge is vast and deep, and there are many tips you won't find elsewhere.  For example, novel ways of increasing and decreasing on tall stitches to eliminate unsightly holes, a variety of ways to invisibly join yarns in the middle of the row, joining and seaming techniques for tricky items, short row darts, invisible color changes, pockets, and button-making. Doesn't that list make you want to run out and buy the book?  The instructions are very thorough for each topic, with good illustrative photos. Be sure to take classes with Pauline when she comes to the CGOA conference this summer, if you can. Her book will stay in a readily accessible spot on my bookshelf, and I plan to refer to it regularly.
