Publisher Comments:

Following on the success of the best-selling Nicky Epsteins Knitted Flowers, Epstein gives crocheters a special gift: an equally exquisite collection of over 40 flowers—plus patterns for garments embellished with her floral designs. Featuring a beautiful layout and magnificent photography, this keepsake volume features stitch pattern flowers, petal constructed flowers, cord flowers, and the extremely popular felted flowers. Some make fanciful pieces of jewelry; others can adorn handicrafts for a fabulous finishing touch. Epstein offers yarn suggestions and colors, and encourages crocheters to experiment with all the interesting choices in the market today to create breathtaking corsages and bouquets. Among the pretty garden blossoms: a calla lily, blue and purple pansies, a delicate and lacy white wedding boutonniere, complete with a pearl center; and a selection of floral corkscrews.

A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

If you are looking to crochet a variety of flowers, this is your book. It's amazing how many different flower types the author managed to crochet up. Crocheting flowers can be addictive because you get the payoff so quickly. Then you'll want to start a new flower right away, in a different yarn to see how it changes with a new color and texture. Curl up in a comfy chair, with a bag of yarn scraps, fire up a DVD, and create a garden. (I made mine while watching the Sopranos!)
