Crochet Collage Garden - Can Do Books Crochet Collage Garden - Can Do Books

I appreciate the pictures in your review! Your descriptions and ideas of how to incorporate the projects are helpful and give a greater reason to choose this book. The suggestion for how to use your scraps to create the projects is very enticing for those of us who have quite a few yarns scraps hanging around. I appreciate investing in a pattern book that has many projects and uses. This book sounds particularly useful by representing multiple seasons. Thank you for your intriguing review on this versatile book. Glad you like this review and the book 🙂 Great question and I think you could do both as you mentioned! Chris gives several tips on finishing the flowers and how you can use them to create all kinds of projects. 🙂 If you're coming to Coles by car, why not take advantage of the 2 hours free parking at Sainsbury's Pioneer Square - just follow the signs for Pioneer Square as you drive into Bicester and park in the multi-storey car park above the supermarket. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. You don't need to shop in Sainsbury's to get the free parking! Where to Find Us Sorry, this competition has closed, therefore we are no longer accepting entries. Why not take a look at out current competitions? Competition terms & conditions Most of the stitches used for the flower motifs are basic crochet stitches so I think even a beginner would be able to have success with this book. Plus, each motif comes with a very clear stitch diagram that helps you see where to put each stitch and how the stitches cleverly create all the nature-inspired shapes. Chris recommends using yarn from your stash and I love that! Since each flower and leaf require a very small amount of yarn, it is easy to find colors that match the collage themes in the book – at least it was for me! 😉 Chris also shares many little tips along the way about how to work the stitches, change colors, weave in ends and put together the final collages.

My favorite collages of the book would be the Flower Meadow, Cottage Garden, Spring Awakening and Terracotta Pot. Each collage is a beautiful work of art with its variety of flower colors, petal designs, leaf shapes and balanced compositions. I decided to crochet the Flower Meadow collage and I love how it turned out! My Project from Crochet Collage Garden Today I would like to share my thoughts and impressions on a beautiful new book by Chris Norrington called, “ Crochet Collage Garden.” I was so happy to have found it in the craft section of my local bookstore! I often sit and look through crochet books and magazines and work on a variety of crochet projects while I spend time amongst the books. The atmosphere of a bookstore is relaxing and peaceful. And, of course, I have fun perusing the crochet section! Thank you to Chris Norrington and her publisher, David and Charles Ltd., for giving permission to use these photos. 🙂 I would like to thank David & Charles for both the review and giveaway copy of Crochet Collage Garden. Alongside the more usual front-on view of flowers in full bloom, Chris has included some patterns for flowers viewed from the side, half-opened flowers, buds, seedheads, berries and fungi. There is also a large variety of foliage types from individual leaves to leafy stems, ferns, and grasses. Each of the collages has a different, sometimes seasonal, theme and all the compositions are different - there are wreaths and bouquets, some
