Book Review by Reneé Rodgers (www.crochetrenee.com)
If you have ever wanted to experiment with wire crochet, this
book gives some excellent pointers. The project count is twelve. All of the
bags are small and crocheted with 30-gauge paddle (floral) wire.
The author is
quick to point out that crocheting with wire is hard on one’s hands, so she
suggests using a pair of cloth garden gloves when crocheting.
The projects
incorporate sequins, beads and ribbons to create lovely little purses, suitable
for a night out on the town or for a little girl’s play purse. There is a
section on creating linings for all of the bags, as well as tips on how to
finish wire ends so that they don’t work loose or poke
out.
The suggested hook for all projects is a size E (3.5mm).
This is a great
guide to beginning to crochet with wire and the bonus is that you will end up
with a cute bag!
