book review, crochet, ebook, granny squares, iBook, self publishing

Having published my own electronic book for iTunes (Crochet Pretty) recently, you can imagine that I am a big fan of self-publishing and electronic books. I think it’s the way forward for anyone who wants to see their name on the cover of a book. Why wait for a publisher to contact you with a book deal if you can get your laptop and camera out and do it yourself? (Of course I will DEFINITELY not say no to a book deal! A hard copy  book in a bricks and mortar book shop is still a huge dream of mine.)

Getting back to self-publishing, I’d like to introduce you to a fellow self-publisher, Shelley Husband. Shelley is a very talented blog and Instagram buddy of mine. We  “met” when she asked to use my free Granny Square In Bloom pattern for her Crochet Along back in September 2013. Since then I’ve been hooked (I’m not going to ask to be excused for that pun) on her Spincushions Instagram feed and Spincushions blog.

Shelley’s electronic book of 20 granny squares, More Than A Granny, is available at Amazon for Kindle, on iTunes, kobo and Barnes & Noble. The book is available in US and UK crochet terms versions. Read what Shelley says about her book over on her blog here.

All the patterns from More Than A Granny are also in the Ravelry database. Check them out here.

I love the cover of the book, don’t you? So colourful and it tells you exactly what you can expect.

As soon as I got my hands on More Than A Granny I knew this was going to be difficult. Difficult to decide on a square that is. Each and every one of the 20 squares are so pretty and Ihavetomakeitable.

In the end I decided to use Dawnie to make a tray mat for my ugly black tray. I use the tray to take the teapot, milk jug and mugs to the living room but it’s black. It’s a great shape, but the colour is so not me. I needed a tray mat to soften the black and match my teapot. Dawnie in light green cotton was perfect!

Dawnie is a beautiful square with an open flowery design in the centre. Shelley called it as Dawnie because it reminded her of dawn and the sun rising over fields. I love this!

IMG_0898.JPG

Because I needed a square without raised stitches (don’t want my milk jug toppling over) I couldn’t go for the equally beautiful Ridge, Lottie or Dogwood. These beauties are definitely still on my to-hook list. Shelley really does design very interesting and beautiful granny squares!

The instructions for Dawnie was very clear and easy to follow. Shelly doesn’t tell you when to change colours, rather leaving it up to the crocheter to decide. You can of course use the accompanying photos for each pattern as a guide for the colour changes. You could also do what I did and make the whole square in one colour. This way the design of the square does all the talking – not the mix of colours.

IMG_0892.JPG

What I like about More Than A Granny is that you can have a good play with all the squares and mix and match them to make a unique blanket or cushion. Shelley gives suggestions at the beginning of each pattern of which square would look good with the one you are making.

I would highly recommend More Than A Granny. It’s available in lots of ebook formats, the patterns are beautiful, it’s well written and you will be able to make a myriad of crochet pieces with the 20 beautiful granny squares.

Well done Shelley, you have a great book and I wish you tons and tons of sales!

 

 

 

 

Granny square bunting with the help of great books

book review, crochet, crochet book, crochet bunting, triangle granny square

A friend at work recently asked me to make crochet bunting for her garden. There’s a lot of patterns around for crochet bunting but they are either to frilly or to plain for me. What I wanted was a basic triangle that could be made with at least four colours. Something like a granny square, but not square. I found the perfect solution in Crochet (DK), a hard cover book by DK. The book was sent to me by the publishers to review a couple of months ago. I’m ashamed that it took me so long to do the review, but in my defence I don’t want to review a book unless I could use of the book’s patterns. The bunting order was the perfect opportunity to do my review, so here it is.

Crochet (DK) is a step-by-step guide with clear photographic technique instructions and over 80 crochet designs. Beginners wishing to learn how to crochet will find all the stitches and techniques twinned with beautiful projects to build up confidence, whilst experienced crocheters can choose between classic and modern crochet makes. Projects cover items for the home, to wear, toys and bags. The book also contains handy info on crochet terms, symbols and abbreviations and teaches how to follow crochet patterns.

The projects are beautifully photographed and you will love the big A4 pages of prettiness.

Crochet (DK) can easily become the crochet go-to compendium. The book really teaches everything there is to know about crochet, has beautiful projects to make and the photography and styling is just lovely.

DK also sent me a copy of A Little Course In Crochet. It’s part of a popular series of learning guides from DK that explain everything and assume nothing.

The two books are very similar, with A Little Course In Crochet being a more concise version of Crochet using the same photos and teaching the same techniques and stitches, only in a smaller format.

IMG_7125
IMG_7124

Don’t think that the smaller book is any less useful, or not worth buying. It’s just as beautifully laid out and teaches you almost everything that Crochet does, just with less projects and less of the “fancy” crochet techniques like broomstick or Tunisian crochet for instance. DK managed to squeeze in everything you need to know into a smaller book by writing a lot of the instructions on the photo itself, as opposed to writing it out as text next to the photo like in Crochet. You can see this in the example below for fastening off stitches. (I laid A Little Course In Crochet on top of Crochet.)

Fastening off

Just like Crochet the project photos also fill a whole page, so it’s just as visually pleasing.

I feel very grateful that DK sent me these two beautiful books. I won’t ever have to buy an instructional crochet book ever again. If I had to pick which one I prefer, I would say bigger is better, and go for Crochet. It’s just so beautiful to page through and there are quite a few projects that I would want to get my hooks into. If you want to know all about crochet, you may as well get the book that really teaches absolutely everything.

As for my granny bunting, I made it by combining the Party Bunting pattern with the triangle granny from the Tools & Techniques section.

This string of seven bunting flags will be given to my work colleague tomorrow. She asked for “easter colours” so I used a combination of Vinnis Nikkim and Stylecraft Cotton Classique. I enjoyed making these bunting flags and found it very easy to follow the patterns in Crochet.

Book review – Blossom Street Brides

book review, Debbie Macomber

A boyfriend who doesn’t want to commit, a long-distance relationship, an adopted teenager, eloping couples, references to frogging, quotes by well-known knitters, mysterious charity knitting and a yarn shop – these are the things I’ve been reading about the past week. Sounds good doesn’t it? It’s the writings of one of today’s most popular and best-loved authors Debbie Macomber in her latest book in the Blossom Street Series called Blossom Street Brides.

Blossom Street Brides tells the story or Lydia, blissfully happy in her marriage, but worrying about her adoptive daughter and future of her yarn shop A Good Yarn. Bethan is madly in love with her husband but their long-distance relationship is becoming difficult to deal with. Lauren has always yearned for marriage and a family of her own, but her long-term boyfriend just won’t commit. The three meet in A Good Yarn and find strength in friendship to help them through their problems.

As I read the book, it was nice knowing that the author owns a yarn and knitting shop also called A Good Yarn in Port Orchard, Washington and that she is a knitter herself. Debbie has written 150 romance novels and contemporary women’s fiction. Over 170 million copies of her books are in print throughout the world, and four have become made-for-TV-movies.  On top of all this creative writing she also finds time to knit,  and run her yarn shop. This is one impressive lady!

All the characters in the book felt very real to me and despite not having read any of the other books in the Blossom Street series, I felt I knew them all and could even relate to some of them. My favourite character is Lauren. As a yarn lover any references to what goes on in A Good Yarn really got my attention. It felt like I had a behind-the-scenes look into the day to day running of a yarn shop which I really liked.

Blossom Street Brides is an enjoyable quick read. It would make a great holiday read or as a gift to anyone with a knitting hobby or a love of yarn. This book, indeed any book in the Blossom Street series, would be a perfect Mother’s Day gift.

The book is available in paperback from 13 March 2014 on Amazon for £5.99.

Book review – Yarn Works

book review

As I explained in my earlier post, I was lucky enough to receive two books on spinning and dyeing your own yarn to review. These books have given me a glimpse into the world of the hand spinner and hand dyer. It’s a very interesting world and it’s hard work! I have a lot of respect for indie dyers and spinners and can totally understand why their yarns are more expensive than yarns produced in a factory.

This post is my review of Yarn Works by W J Johnson (a spinner and dyer for more than 30 years). The book is available in soft cover on Amazon for £20.

Yarn Works takes you from fibre source, to dying, to spinning and even on to knitted projects using your truly individual yarn. Through a series of workshops: Fibre Workshop, Spin Workshop, Dye Workshop and Knit Workshop W. J. Johnson brings you full circle. She shows you how to spin and dye the yarn and then provides knitting patterns that use that particular spun and dyed fibre. Even if you don’t want to spin or dye your own yarn, you will enjoy learning about fibres and yarn types with the interesting “history behind” sections.

The book is written in a relaxed style that makes you feel the writer is right there with you in the room, giving you handy tips and guiding you through all the steps. With little side notes like “Don’t sweat the details. Now that you know the different spin methods, I’ll tell you the honest truth. Spinners do their own thing sometimes.” She makes you feel at ease and makes reading the book very enjoyable.

But don’t think the whole book is informal and chatty. No way. It’s very, very, precise, even scientific in its instructions. Whereas I felt that Spinning & Dyeing Yarn was not giving me enough specifics, this one sometimes intimidated  me with all the measurements and maths involved. Each of the Workshops have Appendices with even more information. For example, the Dye Workshop Appendices include guides for mixing custom dye colours, and mathematical formulas to calculate dye quantity from stock solutions. It’s full on and intense. To give you an idea of how thorough the instructions are, in Spinning & Dyeing Yarn there were five steps to dye cotton yarn. In Yarn Works there are 11 and some of those steps refer you to the Appendices as well.

For my review of Yarn Works I followed the Dyeing by Osmosis technique on page 109.

I bought a 100g ball of undyed cotton from Texere Yarns, 25g powered dye called Procion MX in Lime Chartreuse from Woolwing on eBay , 100g soda ash from Intralabs on eBay and Dylon salt from Robert Dyas.

Step 1 says to wet the fibre. Nowhere does the instructions say to wet with Soda Ash, but I knew this had to be done from reading the instructions on the Proxion MX packet. For my 100 g of cotton, I filled a bowl with 2 liters of water and added 10g of soda ash. I soaked it for 10 minutes and squeezed out the excess.

Step 2 is to mix the dye solution. Again I followed the instructions on the Proxion MX packet.

To get two different shades, I added 5 g of dye powder to the dye stock which I had decanted into a glass jar, thereby creating two different shades of green. Just for luck, I added a bit of water to the dye stock in the bowl to water it down a bit more.

Step 3 tell you to place one end of the wet fibre into one jar and drape the rest of the undyed fibre in the other. It says to let the fibre soak up the dye until it’s 2.5 cm apart.

Step 3 continues to say to lay the fibre on cling film and allow the colours to move closer together. I actually like the big section of undyed yarn so I left it as it. If I had used two different shades, for instances red and yellow, I would have liked to get them to “meet” so that it would create orange, but for me, the two shades of green with undyed cotton in the middle looked really good.

Step 4 is to “finish the fibre accruing to dye cooking method”. I wasn’t applying heat to mine so I assumed that would mean just leaving it over night like the instructions in Spinning and Dyeing Yarn said. I also wrapped it in cling film to keep it from drying out.

Sunday morning it was time for the big reveal. I rinsed off the excess dye under cold water and let the yarn dry on a drying rack.

I’m very happy with the result. The yarn has obviously absorbed a lot more of the dye than it did for the tie dye technique and created a true lime chartreuse colour that I love.

I enjoyed using the osmosis technique from the Dye Workshop in Yarn Works. I think this book is so incredibly detailed and scientific in its approach to dyeing, that it would be of great help to anyone trying to set up a yarn dyeing business – you don’t have to rely on luck to get the perfect shade. With Yarn Works there’s a proven scientific method of getting the same shade every time. If that home dyer is a knitter as well, you would have struck gold with this book.

The focus on this books seems to me to be on dyeing, whereas Spinning & Dyeing Yarn was more focused on spinning.

I found the book very interesting and easy to read, except for the Appendices – but that’s probably why they are done as Appendices. If you need to know formulas and the science bit, you will look at the Appendices, if not, just enjoy the book for what it is: a good guide taking you through the whole process from choosing fibre, to knitted item.

Book review – Spinning and Dyeing Yarn by Ashley Martineau

book review

As crocheters we use yarn every day, but do we really know what goes into getting the yarn that lovely shade of blue, or turning a sheep’s fleece into wool? I certainly don’t. That all changed when I received two books on dyeing and spinning your own yarn to review. Reading these books showed me just how ignorant and uninformed I’ve been about the most important tool of my trade.

I’ll be reviewing the books in two separate blog posts. This post is my review of Spinning & Dyeing Yarn – The Home Spinner’s Guide To Creating Traditional & Art Yarns by Ashley Martineau (a self-taught yarn spinner based in Boston, USA)

The book is available in hard cover on Amazon for £25.

Ashley Martineau teaches you how to identify fibre, prepare the fibres, various dying techniques for both plant and animal fibres, spinning techniques and how to best photograph your hand spun and hand dyed yarn for selling online. There’s even instructions for how to build your own spinning wheel using PVC pipes.

Spinners use words like hackles, niddy noddy, drum carder, neps and they say stuff like “roving has been carded”, “skirt your fibre before washing”, “hackles are used for blending fibre and dizzying into roving”.  It’s like a whole different language. However you soon get the hang of the lingo with Spinning & Dying Yarn’s detailed explanation of what these strange words mean (it even shows you how to build one of them).

As for dying, the book covers immersion dying, gradient dying, hand painting, solar dying (not at all possible to do in the UK Winter seeing as you need 3 – 4 hours direct sunlight, but it’s a nice idea) and tie dyeing.

Everything Ashley Martineua teaches you is very clearly illustrated with excellent photographs and practical tutorials.  I decided to give one of the yarn dyeing tutorial a go.

I love working with cotton, and I sell hand dyed cotton yarn in my Etsy shop, so dyeing cotton yarn was an obvious choice for me. I bought a 100g ball of undyed cotton from Texere Yarns, 25g powered dye called Procion MX in Lime Chartreuse from Woolwing on eBay , 100g soda ash from Intralabs on eBay and Dylon salt from Robert Dyas.

I followed the instructions on page 76 for tie dying, but instead of mixing up three different colours I made up two shades of lime chartreuse which I applied with an empty Crabtree & Evelyn bodywash bottle for the all important squirt action.

Step 1 says to soak your plant fibre in a glass bowl of water with spoonful of soda ash. The only measurements are “for a large bowl a spoonful of soda ash will suffice.” At this point I remembered that the instructions that came with my Procion MX dye included a  lot of guidelines on quantities. They said to use 2 – 3 litters of water for every 100 g of yarn and then they list the exact amount in grams of Dye powder, salt and soda ash. I felt safer referring to these guidelines instead of relying on “large bowl” and “spoonful”.

Step 2 is to soak the fibre in the soda ash mixture for about 10 minutes and then squeeze out the excess, after preparing the surface with cling film. Easy enough.

Step 3 was to “mix the dye bottles following the manufacturer’s instructions.” Here it got a bit confusing because my Procion MX dye (which is, according to Google and  other home dyeing websites is probably the most commonly used brand of dye for plant fibres) instructions tell you to dissolve the soda ash in water and add this soda ash mix to your salt and water dye mix, but the book told me to do the soda ash and water step in step 1. The worrying part is that the Procion MX dye instructions specifically say that once you mix the soda ash water with the dye water, it is the start of the chemical reaction! I just hoped that my cotton yarn would still have enough soda ash mix in it to cause the chemical reaction.

To get two different shades of green, I first made up 2 liters of dye liquid according to the “mid shades” quantities given on the Procion MX instructions. I filled my squirt bottle with this and squirted the liquid randomly on the yarn. Then I added more dye power to my bottle, shook vigorously and squirted the darker colour onto the yarn. A bit of the dye powder fell onto the yarn, but I left it there just to see what would happen.

Step 4 is to “wrap the cotton in cling film”. I was a bit unsure here. Do I just bundle up my wet cotton and in a ball and wrap the cling film around it (like you would dough), or do a bring in the cling film onto the wet yarn in a rolling action so that cling film sections are in-between pieces of wet yarn? I assumed that they wanted me to wrap it in cling film in order to keep the yarn from drying out  (something I only figured out because the Proxion MX dye instructions talk about immersing the cotton in dye water for 30 minutes so I presumed it had to stay wet for the dye to take hold.) As instructed I put the wrapped cotton in a plastic bag and left it over night.

Sunday morning I went rushing to the kitchen to unwrap my cling film ball of tie dye. Luckily the green hadn’t turned red, or vanished, but it was very light. I still think it looks goods, especially the bits where I spilled the dye powder. As instructed in step 5 I rinsed it under cold water until the water ran clear and let it dry.

I will be using my yarn for a crochet project that I will blog about in a week or two. I can’t wait to see how it looks crocheted!

I’m happy with my dyed yarn, but I can’t help but think that’s due mostly to the detailed instructions of the dye powder. Combining the tie dye technique from the book with the dye powder instructions worked well for me. (I have to add here that the instructions in the book for dyeing animal fibre do give more specific measurements, but I didn’t test those techniques.)

For me this book’s strength is in showing you the artistic, creative side to spinning and dying, even more so for spinning. It teaches you what you need to know to get the basics right, but with the hope that you will take those skills and play around, be creative and make unique pieces of yarn art. At the end of each section of the book there is a gallery and artist profile. These were my favourite bits of the book.

It’s a truly inspirational book that makes you look at yarn not as a medium to crochet or knit something beautiful, but as something beautiful in its own right.

Review of Nicki Trench’s latest book

african flower, book review, Nicki Trench

I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy op Nicki Trench’s latest book Cute & Easy Crochet with Flowers. The book is filled with 35, count it, 35! beautiful crochet projects incorporating floral motifs. The 35 projects are divided into three chapters: Starting Out, Practice Makes Perfect and  Confident Crocheting. Like any good crochet book it also contains a Crochet Know-How section which will guide novice crocheters and experts alike along their way, with stitches and techniques.

cute and easy crochet with flowersjpg

A very clever touch to this book is that the crochet stitch abbreviations are given for every pattern, and only the abbreviations that you would need for that project. abbreviationsThis means no more flipping to the back or front to look up stitch abbreviations – you have it right there in the pattern. This also means that a novice crocheter isn’t intimidated by the long list of crazy crochet stitches, but can work their way through crochet stitches one at a time, and as needed.

The book really has the most beautiful projects. Best of all, you can mix and match the type of flowers for each pattern. If you’re Starting Out you can make an easy purse, a Kindle cover, egg cosies or a Hexagon Flower Throw. (The Hexagon Flower Throw is known on Ravelry and various blogs, as the African Flower Hexagon). Then move on to Practice Makes Perfect where there are projects for your home like placemats, shelf edging and a beautiful Buggy Blanket. Finally in the Confident Crochet section there’s the Gypsy Queen Throw which I predict is going to be a huge hit. (Of course I’m only listing my highlights for each section – there are many more projects for you to choose from.)

As you can see, the photography and styling for Cute & Easy Crochet with Flowers is stunning. It made me want to 1) move home and 2) crochet all 35 projects so that my new home would look like this.

So what was my project of choice? I immediately fell in love with the Vintage-style Vase Coasters from the Confident Crochet section. The pattern is very well written (as all of Nicki’s patterns are) and easy to memorize once you’ve made your first coaster.  The handy tip to this pattern was a lifesaver. Nicki gives the colour options to make two versions of the vase coaster, but I made mine in shades of purple and white so that I can use it as a table decoration for the Crochet for Kidney Research UK day on the 9th of November. Great plan right?

I also didn’t stop here. I made two more in the colours I used for the Lacy Coasters guest blog on Patchwork Harmony. Nicky’s vase coaster is the perfect accompanying item for my lacy coasters. I left out the flowers along the edge, and in stead made a 3 chain picot so that the vase coasters would have the same edging as the lacy coasters.

I think Cute & Easy Crochet With Flowers is a fantastic crochet book. The patterns suit all levels of crochet skills. Every crocheter will find something they would want to make for themself, as a gift, for the home, or just for the love of crocheting flowers.  The book is currently on sale on Amazon for £9.09. There’s a link to the Amazon listing for the book on the right of my blog under the “Books I recommend” section, or you can click on the photo of the cover at the top of this post.

If you buy Cute and Easy Crochet With Flowers, I would love to hear what you think of it and see which of the 35 projects you chose to crochet first.
