The Encyclopedia of Knitting & Crochet For Blocks, Blankets & Throws
by Luise Roberts
There are a great many general books on knitting and crochet, and quite a few about making wearables of various types.
But one type of project that every yarncrafter makes at some time or another are these type of home accessories, as
well as all sorts of other items made up in blocks. This is a large subject deserving of its own book — and
now there is one.
The first thing I noticed when I was only leafing through the book to get a first impression was its thoroughness.
Search Press books are invariably thorough, but this book is a particularly fine example and addresses just about
every question you can think of pertaining to the subject, and then some. If you want to carry your project about,
there is a pattern for a unique bag. If you wonder how to marry your yarn with a project not meant for it, then you
can find out how. From choosing colors to designing your own projects, learning new stitches to measurements of
standard beds, it is all here it seems. It is certainly not a book aimed at the beginner, rather for the experienced
yarncrafter who is looking for a challenge and is keen to chart their own work and adapt all kinds of existing items
for use. I was impressed; it is a book to use a bit at a time and learn from, one for your keeper shelf. One of
this publisher’s best yarncraft books in my opinion.
