Author: Tove Fevang
Book Review by Reneé Rodgers (www.crochetrenee.com)
Originally published in Norway last year, this title now
comes to America. Crochet for the Kitchen is packed with 45 kitchen worthy accessories.
Potholders abound, with modern designs as well as cute retro-inspired hot pads.
There are also placemats, a dish cloth and a hand towel.
The yarns represented
in the book are not all easily obtainable in the U.S. CYCA numbers are given
for the yarns, but if one is substituting yarns, it might be prudent to look up
the yarn in the book online, as all of the yarns are listed in the book as CYCA
#1 or #2, but one example given is Rowan Hand Knit Cotton, which is actually a
worsted weight. If the stitcher is alert to the size hook
used and looks up the yarn, it should just be a simple matter of finding a
suitable substitute to recreate the author’s projects.
As an added bonus,
Fevang’s projects include Tunisian crochet items as well, which wear very well
in the kitchen.
