Crochet bright and beautiful clothes and accessories with this
guide to the most exciting crochet colorwork techniques including
intarsia, mosaic and tapestry crochet. Why should knitters have all
the fun when it comes to colourwork? If you prefer using one hook
to two needles but wish you could crochet colourful garments like
knitters then this collection of colourful crochet clothing is for
you. Whether it's a sweater with a decorative yoke or a matching
beanie and glove set in a Scandinavian-inspired design, this
collection of crochet patterns shows that it's not just knitters
who can make colorwork sweaters and accessories - crochet can be
just as versatile once you know the techniques. Author, Sandra
Gutierrez, explains how to use tapestry crochet and its variations
to create fairisle crochet patterns on garments and accessories.
Other colorwork techniques included are standard mosaic crochet,
worked flat and in the round; single row mosaic crochet worked in
the round to create texture; intarsia crochet which lends itself to
more graphic images; and how to use stripes and color blocking as
an accent on a shawl and sweater. There are step-by-step
instructions and photography explaining all the different crochet
colorwork techniques with detailed instructions about how to change
colour, carrying floats and the importance of swatching and gauge.
There are also general techniques about how to choose colors, how
different yarns create different effects and how to substitute
yarn. The collection also includes a number of garment construction
techniques so you can build your crochet clothing skills as well as
learning the colorwork techniques. Some of the techniques included
are: top down construction; how to stitch a circular yoke; shaping
raglan sleeves; vertical construction; shaping with short rows and
how to make faux I-cords. A number of the garments are crocheted in
the round while others are worked flat so you can build up your
construction skills as you go and choose your favourite methods.
All of the garments are graded for nine different sizes, ranging
from a size 32 inch bust up to a 64 inch bust, making them size
inclusive and the accessories are graded from small to large so you
can make one for everyone in the family.
The Colors In My Garden is a color-illustrated story about a boy
approximately five years of age and his awareness of the concepts
same and different, especially as they relate to his family.
Zachary, a bright and precocious young man is beginning to express
very negative feelings to his mother and grandmother about his
appearance and how other people are making him feel. Thanks to his
grandmother listening to his concerns and giving him quality time.
Zachary discovers for himself that we're all special and that our
differences add to the unique people we are. Zachary also learns we
blend together to make a beautiful picture.
