Book review by Pia Thadani - Stitches'N'Scraps
Does your wardrobe need an update? Fill your closet with the stunning crochet pieces from "My Crocheted Closet!"
There are 22 modern, stylish patterns in this collection, and you're going to want to make them all (I know I do!) The patterns come from 13 different designers, so there's some variety in styles. There are light and lacy, warm weather designs, and chunky cold weather wear too. There's a list of the designers in the back, and the the main project photos show the designers name. Each designer also has a lovely bio near one of their patterns, which I thought was fun!
Those of you know me know that I'm not exactly small, so I really appreciate that many of the garments come in larger sizes, some of them up to 2x. The Daring Duster is one of those, and I love everything about it...the length, the color, the rollable sleeves....plus it has pockets!
I also really like the Signature Skirt. It comes in larger sizes and has a flattering fit, though I'm not nearly so daring and would have to make it much longer! Luckily, that looks like it would be easy to do with this pattern.
Besides garments, the book also has all those fun accessories that finish off the perfect outfit. There are bags and hats, a headband, boot cuffs, mitts, and even a statement necklace!
