Love this book I first saw this book at my local library. I liked sooo many patterns in the book that I bought it. The best thing about this book is that the author shows the pattern as a diagram (picture) as well as writing it out. I find it hard to follow just written instructions. I really like when there is also a diagram. Many of these patterns you can use simply as an edge for an afghan. But I enjoy the fact you can use numerous ones as a potential scarf. Just have to add a row, or two to make it a bit…
I would not expect anything less than exceptional from Linda Scharpper This is great reference tool for the beginner or the advanced crocheter. While I have been crocheting for nearly 40 years I experienced not yet truly advanced. I am working to develop my skills to become advanced. This is one of the reference books I needed to do just that. As well as challenge myself to create my own patterns and designs.I really like the way that Ms. Scharpper has her books organized. Both this book and her Crochet Stitch designs begin with a common sense table…
Crochet Borders Book I was thrilled to see that the photos in this book were superior to those that were in Linda P. Schapper’s Crochet Stitch book. Nice variety for all skill levels. I enjoy having patterns that have the visual picture as well as a diagram to support the written instructions. I have been crocheting since the 60’s and have a nice collection of edging books already, but I must say this one is very nicely put together.
