It seems to be book review season here at the moment
And I’m not complaining, I’m really not – this particular one is a corker!
It’s a book packed to the brim with 25 colourful designs to brighten your home – everything you could imagine, from beautiful blankets to these adorable jar cosies *adds to ever-growing future projects list*
This is another of the projects which caught my eye – a vintage-inspired cushion cover.
And this stool cover is such a fun make, too.
But I’ve always been a storage girl at heart and I loved the simplicity and stitch definition of these sweet little baskets.
I had some cute little balls of yarn I’d picked up at Yarndale (for a bargainous 50p each) and thought they’d be the perfect match.
And they are!
The pattern was well written and very easy to follow and it even had a chart, too. I love the way this has turned out and am planning to make the other two sizes, too.
(I’ve just realised that I actually did not complete as many rows as Tanya’s pattern states – that’s what I get for crocheting late at night!) but I’m still just as pleased. I might make the taller version next.
I’ve really enjoying looking through Tanya’s book – there are projects in here to suit everyone, from a complete newbie to an experienced pro and there’s even a tunisian crochet project included.
The patterns are written in US terms throughout and all have them feature a chart. At the back of the book there is a brief section containing descriptions of the stitches and techniques you’ll need to know.
Enjoy!
