...This truly is that rara avis, a book that both teaches the beginner and provides plenty to interest intermediate and advanced crafters. This is partly due to the novelty of the subject, but also to do with the variety of projects and the quality of the instructions. Many beginners' questions get answered in here, along with plenty of advice about what to buy and what to expect from it. The projects themselves are very up-to-date, and range from the quirky to the classic, with plenty in between. It is a pity that the cover necklace is not slightly less idiosyncratic, but maybe this is merely an indication of the groundbreaking stuff inside? Mostly what I have for the book is praise. There is such a variety of crochet methods covered, including using a hairpin loom and a large variety of different materials (mostly not too expensive). The best thing to do is have a look at this book yourself - if you are at all interested in crochet or jewellery making you are bound to be impressed.
