Learn Drop Stitch Crochet by Kim Guzman



Do you remember broomstick lace? It's a kind of crochet worked around a broomstick handle or a large knitting needle to give an openwork design.

Kim Guzman has turned this technique into a drop-stitch look that makes some interesting designs. Along with the basic tutorial pages, you will find patterns for wraps, a jacket, scarves and a hat, a tank top and cowl.

They are cool designs and worth a look. Currently this book is in the new book section at the library.

New Books at the Library

We have a couple of new crochet pattern books at the library. 

If you love ripples, we have 50 Ripple Stitches by Darla Sims.  It's an Annie's Attic book.  There are granny ripples, cluster ripple, V-stitch ripple, double crochet ripples, and straight row patterns that have a ripple effect.

We also recently got Simply Crochet: 22 Stylish Designs for Every Day by Robyn Chachula.  This book has only one blanket.  The rest of the patterns are purses, shawls and shrugs, scarves, hats, and other wearables. 

Come and pick them up to check out the newest patterns.

Happy crafting,
