A Crochet Book Review and Giveaway!


I have had the honor of being asked to review my fellow designer Rebecca Velasquez's new eBook for Quince & Co yarn company: "Crochet, book one".

Rebecca's designs really complement the elegant yarn color palette that is synonymous with Quince & Co. There is something special about each design. I love the textural stitch pattern in the Water Lily Mitts. The Queen Anne's Shawl is light and delicate, yet it has a defined silhouette. The Pauline Hat is stylish and can be worn with such ease. The Alium Ascot is a keyhole scarf that is a practical design that Rebecca has made beautiful. And last but certainly not least, the classic and lovely Marigold Sweater, which would be flattering on many body types.

It is a wonderful collection of modern, sophisticated designs that are available either as an entire collection, or for individual download. All patterns have symbol diagrams in addition to the written instructions.

Until April 29th at 11:59 EST, you can enter to win a pattern from the collection. Please leave a comment and an identifying location, Twitter or Ravelry name, on this post to be entered to win. For more chances to win, check out the remaining stops on the blog tour. In May, all of the blog entries will be entered to win the entire collection as an eBook. (You will have multiple chances to win, if you comment on more than one blog). Good Luck!

    My crochet is usually with thread, these lovely patterns have made me consider using yarn.
