Book reviewed by Michael Sellick, The Crochet Crowd
Beaded edging is making a come back in this wonderfully put together book by Midori Nashida. Crochet is not just about doing the entire project. As demonstrated in this book, you can accent stuff that you already own. Take an ordinary apron, table cloth, and even clothing and add some crochet to the trims and voila you have something that is unique to you.
Midori goes a step further with adding beads to her trim to really give the trim some definition through weight so the beads will flow with your body movements if you were to wear them but also dangle perfectly on the trim on things like table clothes and much more.
You will see and learn techniques that will not only help you to succeed but also inspire your creativity to leap forward to pushing and creating even more ideas using what you have learned in this book. There are diagrams and fabulous photographic shots inside this book to help you along.
This is a must have for the crochet enthusiast that recognizes that there’s so much more that can be done with crochet other than an afghans. Create customized trims that fit your lifestyle and concepts. You’re the artist, Midori’s book gives you the power to push your skills even more.
