In chapter one, I love the scrunchie pattern. The woven wall hanging reminds me of macrame work. The textured kitchen cloths would make a nice housewarming or hostess gift. In chapter two, the eye mask is so cute, and I look forward to making several of them. The tassel basket is a great way to use extra pieces you have stashed away. The placemats technique is an amazing way to combine two different types of materials into one project.
In chapter three, the “Soak” bathmat is unique. The duffel bag would be great either as a tote or a large purse. The patterned scarf is a twist on traditional granny squares. Chapter four has hat, cowl, scatter run, and holiday stocking.
I really enjoyed this book. The projects are all different and it is nice to see an assortment of projects than the more traditional crochet projects. I recommend this to anyone looking for new projects.
