Conscious Crafts: Knitting 20 mindful makes to reconnect head, heart & hands by Vanessa Koranteng; Sicgmone Kludje
Book starts out with table of contents where patterns are listed.
Colorful pictures throughout the book Introduction discusses the authors and their passion for knitting.
Tools and equipment along with basic stitches also discussed in detail along with diagrams and pictures.
Geared to helping black women this book can be used for any one. Love the explanations of the stitches and swatch that is included, in color.
Each pattern starts with a name and to far left are equipment you will need, needles, yarns, and other items along with finished size and stitches used.
To middle section summarizes the project then instructions, row by row along with pictures and diagrams of each and every step.
There are so many projects to keep you busy for a while, to spruce up a table, your work area, etc. Great as gifts also in the receiver's favorite colors.
Going to try twist head band in chunky which I've never used and have some here.
Fingerless mittens are also a hit around here with photographers. Fringed scarf would also make a nice gift, I never think to add fringe!
Love the section on making your own yarn, so many useful ideas in this book. Acknowledgements end this book.
A KEEPER!
Received this review copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Ivy Press, Leaping Hare Press via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
