crochet books

The love of history, and the ever revolving fashion cycle have helped to renew popularity of this 19th century handcraft. Many people, when hearing the word crochet, instantly conjure the image of an elderly woman sitting in a chair, crochet hook held firmly in arthritic fingers as she concocts another table doily.

They know nothing about yarn, hooks or even how to begin. Crochet is the best craft. Cebelia yarn is designed for making tablecloths, napkins, table runners, cushion covers, curtains and many other items.

There are step-by-step instructions on making one. Unlike knitting, crochet uses this single starting loop to work a row of individual chain stitches. That will ensure that your stitch matches the stitch measurements that are called for in the crochet instructions, thus saving you any frustration down the line.

That is one of the great things about crochet. You can do it while you are watching TV, or while sitting in a doctor's waiting room, or traveling as a passenger in a vehicle.
