we'll see if this book is any good soon, Although, I will be honest and say that my review may be biased, because I have always been a little resentful about how pretty the previousbooks were, and how up until now the Stitchionary series has been knitexclusive.
Too little too late, Stitchionary!
But I will update and be honest once I read it :
In the meanwhile, here is the review from Craft Gossip:
"This book is jammed full of color pictures and includes several stitch patterns Ive not seen elsewhere.
There are also several motifs worked in two different yarns with side by side picture comparisons, This allows once to see how different size yarns will affect the outcome of certain motifs, Each entry has both written instructions and a graph or symbol chart, Further, while a review of crochet basics simple stitches, yarns, threads, hooks seem to use up half of many new books, the editors of this volume assume you know how to crochet, so there are many more stitch patterns and motifs than one usually finds in a stitch compendium.
" more, sitelink craftgossip. com/bookr stitch dictionaries are important for me, helping me create somethingg interesting and as strange as it sounds unique, seems like
the more diverse of a stitch knowledge I have, the more my imagination can go wild, this is a beautiful book, like the others in the series, and it's the first crochet one in the series, I particularly like the motifs and squares they show, it's a different selection than I've seen before, this is going on my wishlist! I am more of a knitter than a crocheter so it would be hard for me to judge the originality of some of the patterns but I liked the book.
It had a range from beginner to expert, Had a few patterns in it that I was questioning, One pattern of connecting flowers looked like it would have been cool on the pattern side but once you looked at the swatch it was all out of shape and lost its flowerness.
And a few of the patterns actually looked so much alike other then for small differences, Nothing in this book really jumped out to me or gave me inspiration, And I was also a bit disappointed in this book like I was with the previous one on the quality of the swatches, This time everything looked stitched right but was presented badly, If a few of the patterns would have only been blocked or had been stretch or pulled in the right direction, it would have made all the difference.
They looked misformed or misshaped and drew attention from the rather pretty pattern, Also I didn't really like a lot of the color combinations throughout the book and including the color chapter, They all seemed really old, granny square, or juvenile, Nothing in there seemed to appeal to a's and's crowd, Even though there is quite a lot I don't like about the book, it wasn't all bad, I think it would be more geared towards someone who's got all the basic stitches down and is looking for a way to incorporate them together, I wouldn't recommend this for someone with experience, it might bore them, I also this this is more geared towards someone looking to make blankets or afghans, But for me, not worth the, Very detailed amp easy to understand, This fourth entry in the bestselling series of Stitchionaries from Vogue Knitting is just what crocheters asked for! It provides the most comprehensive collection of crochet stitches ever, all culled from the archives of Vogue Knitting, the most trusted source for knitting and crochet.
