Crochet Library
My Crochet Library is a resource for the simple art of crochet that provides incredibly crisp textures and color effects, which makes it ideal for heavy or unusual pieces. You’ll find books and resources from my personal library as well as other publications that I want to add to my library.
I will also round-up expired copyright publications of early work and stitches used from around the world. If there’s a resource you’re looking for just leave me a note and I will get back to you with an answer.
Look for info about interchangeable yarns, the importance of gauge in crochet and a better understanding of why some patterns have you chain 1 and turn and others have to turn and then chain.
We will check hooks, what’s the difference between steel, aluminum, bone, bamboo and plastic. You will learn why you should choose your hooks by measurement and not the letter ID. We will cover symbol crochet which opens the door to exquisite pieces from other cultures just waiting to be explored.
So hold on grab your hat and come along for the ride!

I am looking for an Irish Crochet sweater – large blocks with a rose in the center that was published by McCalls in the late 60’s. It was done in baby wool, and took 10 blocks to make the sweater. I don’t know how to look for the pattern, but it was suggested that perhaps you may be able to help me. Thank you.
