“I appreciate the detailed process swatches to understand hook placement as it relates to the final swatch. It’s very helpful to see these process photos in the same color as the final swatch. This helps me to understand how the process relates to the final product. The book does a good job of building on techniques and then introducing patterns. I found myself flipping back and forth to the technique section after seeing it in the patterns, and it’s nice to have this all contained in a single resource. I appreciate that the patterns have differing degrees of difficulty. I understand how the techniques are used in different patterns. This book is a comprehensive resource for someone wanting to learn the basics and advanced skills of Tunisian crochet. Well done, Lori: this book is a wonderful compilation of resources and design!”—Shana S Cohen, Shanalines Designs

I can’t wait to share this book with my students!”—Connie Lee Lynch, CrochEt Cetera
