MODERN BOHEMIAN CROCHET by Beth Nielsen is 128 pages
of beautifully photographed projects. In fact there are 21
projects
complete with graphing and written instructions. The items
run the
gamut from accessories to clothing items.
What is most intriguing about MODERN BOHEMIAN CROCHET
is the inclusion of items that use lots of crochet
techniques. Sort
of lets you try your hand and see if this is a technique
that you
would like to use again and again. Beth Nielsen invites you
to try
your hand at making a belt using Tunisian crochet, a lacey
shawl
using joined motifs, a hat using motif lace strips and even
hair pin
lace. The dimensions for finished projects are by body
measurements rather than numerical sizes.
As always when I review a craft book I look to see how many
items I would actually attempt to make. What I liked about
MODERN BOHEMIAN CROCHET is that several items would
work up rather quickly and at the same time let me try some new
technique. I've crocheted for years but must admit there are
still
so many techniques I've yet to try much less master. MODERN
BOHEMIAN CROCHET by Beth Nielsen provides a comfortable
range of items and techniques to try for just about any
crafter.
My favorite items in MODERN BOHEMIAN CROCHET are a lotus
cap sleeve kimono with simple construction shown in two
different
colorways -- gorgeous -- a winner. The next item would be the
kinzee tee which is cropped, lightweight, and airy with
beautiful
details for anyone at any age. And last but not least is the
Eastlake sweater a dolman sleeve fall item in a beautiful
stitch
with longer back which is very trendy and at the same time
classic.
MODERN BOHEMIAN CROCHET by Beth Nielsen would make
an excellent addition to your craft library.
