Crochet Books

These are some of the crochet books I currently own.  I had to start putting them on here to keep me from bidding on duplicates on eBay or worse yet, buying duplicates at Amazon! 

Please note: This is just my personal collection, these books are NOT for sale.

Afghans For All Seasons
Some great designs.  If you have a lot of scraps, try the Patchwork of Petals design.  It is done on a large hook, with two strands.   You have to have a lot of the main color, but you can use up all your "scraps" on the center petals.  I made it will real wool once and am about to start it in Woolease.

I was pleased to discover how WONDERFUL all of Vanna's books and patterns are.  Some are repeats out of other Leisure Arts publications, but I have NO complaints!

Another great collection.  I can't wait to do the floral granny on the front or Summer Sunrise, which uses whole rows of the interlocking circles from wedding band patterns.
