Review: Useful and Inspiring in Bound AND Digital Formats - Gorgeous book when purchased for kindle fire or other color e-reader formats. Vibrant images and clear layout with a fantastic index to refer to specific patterns. You will not regret buying this for the kindle fire, trust me! Avoids common mistakes found in many digital format crochet guides such as missing text, small or dull pictures and incomplete instructions. I am an intermediate level crochet artist, and I am highly satisfied with every title I own by Edie Eckman. Great books for all experience levels that grow with you as you learn new skills. I go back to this book and others by the author again and again. Solid technique, modern designs, and easy to follow instructions make this book a valuable resource you will use for years, not weeks. Highest recommendation for readers who are beginners familiar with basic stitches and up. For absolute beginners, get "Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs." I made my first multi-color motifs four years ago using the instructions in this book and they still look great! Review: Gorgeous, Inspiring and Versatile - This is an incredibly beautiful and useful book for any crocheter who has advanced enough to begin to want to make things that don't come from the standard patterns, but do use motifs. I have been crocheting for over a half a century (that long?), and I still found new stuff in it. I really like the section showing both sides of join results, so you pick what you want to do. Ms. Eckman offers many new motifs (101), and my mind was busy finding ways to adapt them--finer threads, more open work, closer work, etc. This book will keep me busy for some time, as I experiment with making sweaters, hats, etc. to try out the motifs and the joinings. I recommend this book to any crocheter in intermediate stage or beyond, and if you are having trouble with written out patterns, this is a book for you. It relies heavily on symbol crochet (every pattern has both instructions!), so you can get to know the international language for crochet. That way you can get an instruction book in Russian, French, German, Japanese, whatever, and you will still be able to make the patterns because you will be able to follow international crochet instructions. (And there are some gorgeous foreign language instruction books out there!) My only complaint is that I wish there were more clothing patterns (some blouses or tunics?) included, and of course, more book! I'm getting more of her books as soon as possible. ## Features - Storey Publishing-Connect The Shapes Crochet Motifs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #202,802 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #616 in Crocheting (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 864 Reviews | ## Images ![Connect the Shapes Crochet Motifs: Creative Techniques for Joining Motifs of All Shapes; Includes 101 New Motif Designs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Tj-hjKGML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful and Inspiring in Bound AND Digital Formats *by A***D on December 14, 2012* Gorgeous book when purchased for kindle fire or other color e-reader formats.
