While it doesn't have the playful verve that Mr. Funky's Super Wonderful Crochet has, this book is, to my mind, a must have for a serious crocheter's crochet library. The directions took a bit of getting used to as Ms. Griffiths has some interesting approaches that are not what I would term standard. That said, it is well worth learning, and there are all kinds of fun things to make. Whenever I need to unwind, I grab this book (which I forgot to mention has a great binding that allows the book to lie flat on a table while you work)and just pick a motif or block to work on. No matter how bad a day it has been or how hectic I have been feeling, the projects in this book transport me to somewhere better than I have been up until then. I definitely don't want to misplace this book. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
201 Crochet Motifs contains over 150 original crochet blocks and motifs plus 51 gorgeous projects to inspire your creativity. Packed with ideas to get you going, this clever directory is split into three main chapters entitled Motifs, The Projects and The Techniques. The first chapter, Motifs, is divided into five sections that cover everything from the simplest crosses and spirals to geometric shapes, pictures, lacy patterns and bold, beautiful flowers. Use them to make up your own bags, throws, scarves and cushions, designed just as you choose, or follow one of Melody's foolproof patterns in The Projects. With over 50 projects to choose from there'll be something for everyone to make, whether that is a butterfly brooch, holly greetings cards, an openwork afghan, cat cushion, button baby blanket, tie belt, cherry border cardigan or something entirely different. Each motif is displayed as a colour photograph next to easy-to-follow instructions, with stitch diagrams for more complex motifs. Melody also advises on the type of yarn to use, the tension and the size of the motif, and gives tips on how to achieve the best result. There is also advice for designing your own makes, so you can treat the motifs as a jumping-off point. Finally, The Techniques offers further explanation and guidance so that no stitch is beyond your ability. With sketches and photos showing how the motif can be used, either on its own, with several together or partnered with other motifs, 201 Crochet Motifs will show you that the crocheting possibilities are endless.

It had a lot of interesting square crochet designs that you could make other than the traditional granny square - there was also patterns for the alphabet. It was nice to see all the kinds of different things that can be crocheted.
But again not all of us want patterns that include rainbow vomit colour combinations of colours or hideous green colours paired with yellow and orange flowers. The colours that were chosen to illustrate the featured designs and patterns were really gross and really let the book down. I should have known from the cover!
Great if you love horrendously dated looking clothing and home decor. ( )
