I had great fun on holiday, exploring the patterns and projects in Erika Knight’s Crochet workshop. This book is full of simple and inspiring home wares and accessories. I loved making these little doilies – based on very traditional designs I remember from the 1970’s – but brought up to date in some modern yarns and fashion colours. I can’t wait to try out some of the projects using yarns from Erika’s own British wool collection.

This is one book that should be on every crochet enthusiast’s bookshelf, I told my knit and natter group about it and they loved it too – look how many copies we had at group last week!Published by Quadrille, it’s widely available and worth every penny.
