the projects all seem to be useful, with the exception of that sweet little cardigan … I’m sure this book will be very helpful to me when I can finally get past correct gauge . I have to admit, I’m only on page 43. Three times I tried to crochet the featured coaster as project #1. All three times, it came out too big. First, I used a ‘G’ Boye hook which was specified, and my coaster came out to be close to 5 3/4″ (almost square, but not quite!) Then I tried it again with my ‘G’ Boye and crocheted as tightly as I possibly could–when I was finished, my thumb was sore. Still, it was too big.

So needless to say, I did not get very far in 3 years.CROCHET WORKSHOP is the only book that CLEARLY explains how to crochet into the chain. Because crocheting into the chain regardless of the stitch you are doing, is done differently than the next row crocheted. The visuals are superb. The written descriptions of the visuals are even better. I can’t believe I went through so many books before finding this gem.This book also clearly explains…
