Revue de presse :
Even if you have only begun to dabble in crochet then this excellent reference book will certainly get you on your way to discovering the delights crochet can offer. Those already well-versed in the art will definately find the Compendium of Crochet Techniques an inspirational companion to branching out and coming up with their own crochet creations. Presented in themed chapters there are 300 tips, techniques and snippets of information that will all enhance your crochet experience. Throughout there are little hidden gems such as making your own stitch markers, DIY hook fixes and shortening zips. There are many special effects described which you might never usually come across unless it is part of a specific pattern. Find out how to work crossed trebles, bobbles and spikes to give texture and interest to crocheted fabrics. There is an extensive section on how to design and create your own garments with advice on sizing, shape and stitch. This is a great little book that you can dip in and out of whenever you encounter an unfamiliar manoeuvre or technique. Every tip is explained with clear, often annotated, colour photographs. You will certainly be inspired by many of the ideas in the book and there is an extensive section on home-dyed for making your own colour shades. There is a glossary too of all the crochet abbreviations and symbols, handy sizing charts as well as that crochet essential, a translation of American and British terms. --Knit Today No.15, Nov 2007

The cosy feel of crochet has never been more popular than in recent years, with boho clothes remaining a favourite on the high street. This ultra-handy guide really does contain all you could possibly want to know about crochet techniques, and easily fulfils its cover promise of '300 tips, techniques and trade secrets'. In fact, we loved so many things about it we can't fit them all into this review! The book's 158 pages are divided into seven sections, starting with hooks, tools and yarns then introducing readers to patterns and key techniques. While some pages are given over to pattern samples that make you want to dive in and t ry them all at once, others include essential advice - from how to make your own crocheted roll-up hook case to 'fix it' columns helping you out with common problems. We especially loved the 'Working in the Round' section, which is full of tips on how to branch out from flat crochet to spirals, tubes, cylinders, socks and mittens. All in all, this is the perfect present for crochet newbies, but it also contains plenty of inspiration for established pros. It even comes with a fold out ruler and hook gauge - they really have thought of everything. --Simply Knitting, Jan 08

I took this 160 page hard back to the Leeds/Bradford branch meeting and some very experienced crocheters gave it a thumbs up. Subtitled '300 tips, techniques and trade secrets' it carries the Search Press hallmark of copious illustrations employing both photographs and diagrams. Not everyone likes to learn techniques from a book, but for those who are happy with this method there is plenty here to go at. As well as crochet skills there are notes on dyeing, tools, patterns and equipment. It does not address more unusual techniques such as double filet or Tunisian, but provides a thorough exposition of core stitches and skills. --Slipknot No 118, Dec 07
