A few weeks ago, I received a copy of Laurinda Reddig’s new book: Reversible Color Crochet. I was quite excited, as I had been wanting the book since Laurinda first told me about it at the Knit and Crochet Show last October. Then I took a make and take with her at the Knit and Crochet Show this past July where we made a mini (coaster size) version of the first square in the book.
I was not disappointed! The book starts off with a section explaining how to use the book, and some wonderful tips. Laurinda explains the special stitches and reversible color changes in a very clear way, and with lots of helpful pictures. It is nice to start off feeling like she is right there, holding your hand along the way!

I decided to go with Crochet! magazine, as they are the magazine that all CGOA members receive, and I liked the idea of this pattern being in actual print, not only online. I wanted to be able to hand my parents a copy of the magazine and say “Look what I did!!” 🙂 Today I received a … Read more
