Summary: NOT granny crochet
Review: Wanna crochet things that don't belong in the 70's? Get this book. Usable,classic styles,no brady bunch stuff!! The projects are: round pillow(made with string),chevron pillow,floor pillow (made with leather string),textured pillow,filet pillow. A pieced,a textured and a stripy throw. Modern afghan and a rag rug. Boxes and bottle covers (made with string). Bag made with plastic string. Basket made with leather string. Turkish slippers as seen on cover (very easy). Cafe cover,tea cozy. Towel edgings. Raffia table mats. A table runner made with string. I would not say this book is for very beginners but after getting a couple of pot holders and a scarf under your belt,go for it!! Don't let the leather and string stuff scare you off, it's the same old crochet stitchs. Yarn could be used insted. Hooked on Crochet by Candi Jensen has some modern projects with clothing.
