Fiber artist Kathy Merrick, who's been knitting and crocheting for over 30 years, shares some of her most interesting patterns for crocheting with color in "Crochet in Color: Techniques and Designs for Playing with Color" (Interweave Press/$22.95).
Unlike crocheted garments from days gone by, these are soft and drapey because of the exquisite yarns and large size needles she recommends, making them comfortable to wear.
In addition to wearable art, other featured projects include decorative items for the home, like afghans (no, not the kind your grandmother use to make), a pillow, a table topper and even a colorful footstool.
This is the perfect book to help you find ways to use up some of that gorgeous yarn you've been hiding in the attic from family members. Just think, not only will you add to your wardrobe and home decor, you'll be creating more space for collecting more fiber from your favorite yarn shop!!!
If you'd like a chance to win a copy of the book, just email me at jbrown@detnews.com and tell me an interesting story about when you first learned to crochet. Please put the word "crochet" in the subject line, and REMEMBER to include your name and address.
Good Luck!!!
