Industry Reviews
"I love the speed and versatility of crochet but sometimes the lack of fabric in crochet means that it doesn't quite work for garments. Tunisian crochet...is as simple and quick as crochet but gives you the fabric looks that knitting does...I couldn't believe when I received this book and not only did it include all the instructions and teach you how to Tunisian crochet it also includes 16 projects."--Susan Dougill"Crochet Addict UK blog" (11/06/2014)
