I bought this and another book (Beyond the Square: Crochet Motifs) on a whim, with the recognition that crochet is sometimes about play for me, and i wanted a little more play. The washcloth for my mom was essentially play, and leads me to believe i can “wing it,” but i think i still need more lessons in how to assemble the stitches. These two books looked like they would help me fill in with Kooler’s Encyclopedia.
My first assemblage is from the delicate pom-pom center, four petal arches, and four trillium leaves.
The trillium leaves were a bit of a challenge, and i ended up having to make my own chart. But, now that i have many symbols in NoeOffice’s Draw, i can do this for the troubling yolk in Everyday Crochet and so on.
