Blanca is the ideal place for the slow movement, to enjoy the charm
of its landscapes and to relax and live better. One cannot hurry
the act of creation. Maybe this is a reason that we find in this
village so many painters. They all need pace, slowness, silence to
be creative and productive. I came from Holland, 40 years ago, and
hated in that country the long queues of cars, the great haste of
the people. During my travels to many foreign countries as a result
of international business I came to the conclusion that there for
me are only two places to live well: Haiwai and Blanca. This book
has been written for you in ten lenguages: English, German, Dutch,
Italian, French, Swedish, Russian, Arabic, Japonese and Chinese.
Create one-of-a-kind striped modular blankets with this unique
mix-and-match approach.
Featuring 100 crochet strip patterns for modern striped blankets, this
book opens up a world of design possibilities for crochet blankets, how
you choose to combine the strips is completely up to you!
Making modular blankets is not a new concept, but most books tend to
focus on granny squares to do this. By crocheting individual strips
instead, you can achieve a much more modern look, with pattern, colour
and texture variations tailored to suit your individual style. Working
in this modular way makes crocheting blankets achievable, portable and
fun, as each strip is worked along the short edge, making long starting
chains a thing of the past!
Each strip pattern is given in US crochet terms, with written pattern
and chart for making a standard throw-blanket-width strip (40in/100cm
across). Advice is given on adjusting the width of the strips for
smaller or larger blankets.
With chapters including Classic Stitches, Tapestry Crochet, Mosaic
Crochet, Texture, Cables and Ribs, and Embellishments, this collection
offers almost infinite possibilities to create unique striped blankets
that are fun to work on as well as beautiful when finished.
As well as the 100 strip patterns, there are 5 example blankets showing
different combinations of strips, plus additional ideas for using the
strips in other ways, such as scarves, bags and homewares.
