Japanese Wonder Crochet: A Creative Approach to Classic Stitches by Nihon Vogue

November 6, 2019 by crochet envy Filed Under: books, patterns, today's deal

Japanese Wonder Crochet is the first major Japanese crochet book to be translated into English. It introduces crafters outside Japan to the wonderful crotchet techniques and charts that are so popular within the country.

The book shows a creative approach to classic crochet stitches such as Aran, herringbone, Bavarian, waffle, crocodile, reversible crochet, and many more. In Japan, crochet work is often added to knitted garments; while you may choose to incorporate these techniques into your own knitting projects, Japanese crochet is a great pleasure in and of itself.

In this book, a swatch pattern is provided for each stitch which helps crocheters practice the mechanics of the stitch before applying them to larger projects. The personal and home accessory projects included provide something for every level of time commitment—from potholders and cup cozies to tote bags and blankets.

Crochet Stashbusters: 25 great ways to use up your yarn leftovers of one ball or less by Nicki Trench

October 9, 2019 by crochet envy Filed Under: books, patterns, today's deal

For every crafter who has ever wondered how to use the odd ball of yarn left over from a previous project, the answer is here.

Now that more and more of us are buying online, there’s always a temptation to add one more ball to your basket than the pattern recommends, just in case you can’t get the same dye-lot at a later date. Or maybe you are one of the lucky ones who always seems to use slightly less yarn than you expected. And then there are the flash sales online, yarn shop events, or craft fairs, where piles of yarn at knockdown prices tempt you to buy without a particular project in mind, just because it’s there, it’s gorgeous, and it’s cheap. This collection of patterns from Nicki Trench is the answer to your prayers: 25 makes, small and not so small, which can either be made with one ball of yarn or less, or which use up small amounts of different colors in stripes, squares, or flowers. Many of the makes are ideal as gifts, including baby hats and bootees, toys, cozies, and bunting. There are also projects for the home, such as a stripy pillow cover, egg cozies, and mug warmers. There are also useful tips on choosing substitute yarns and checking your gauge.
