Book Reviews of Crochet Rugs and Throws
Book Review: Useful and not too difficult....
Summary: 4 Stars
When it comes to crocheting or knitting, not everyone is at the same stage of development. I learned to crochet many years ago and have recently been reviving my skills. Where formerly I made lace edging and doilies using cotton thread, I am now engaged in working with wool using larger yarns and needles. CROCHET RUGS & THROWS by Janet Hobbs, provides the reader with projects for fair to middling crochet workers, who like me want to use 4-8 ply strands of wool.
While this book is touted as a design book (which has been pooh-poohed by another reviewer), it is not exactly filled with amazing and complex new designs. Although she does include a pram cover constructed using white squares that rely on pattern more than color, the major design element Hobbs uses is color. She is somewhat overly reliant on the `bobble' stitch. The bobble is the "bump" in the throw on the cover of the book jacket and it is used almost every item in this book. I did not know how to make a bobble, and did not find Hobbs' instructions helpful. If you can make basic crochet stitches and have not made a bobble, I suggest you refer to Donna Kooler's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CROCHET STITCHES. (A bobble is not a popcorn stitch.)
