Maran Illustrated Knitting and Crocheting (Maran Illustrated) Maran Illustrated Knitting and Crocheting by maranGraphics Development Group


My review


rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is a great book if you're learning to knit or want to stretch your wings on knitting, before each knitting project it teaches you the skills you'll need to do the project. The crochet section is small (57 pages out of 297 pages) almost to the point of why did they bother. It has great pictures. If you're a crochet beginner use this book, but if you're not their are only 2 projects, and some really basic stitches.

My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
Now this book should have been named FUN and Funky Crochet,it's way funkier than the book titled that. This book like most crochet books has a "how to crochet" section. It has ideas from Greeting Cards to clothing embellishments to scarves.

If you're a vetran crocheter you've used many of the techniques in this book, but they use them in ways I haven't seen very often. It teaches you to crochet in the front of the book (all the crochet books seem to) some of the projects would be good for a beginner and fun too!
