When I was contacted by Teresa from @debrosse to give a review for her new book Modern Crochet (releasing November 19), I was so touched and thrilled! I have followed Teresa for a long time, and her work is just beautiful. Her black and white aesthetic, and her gorgeous crochet makes function together in a soothing harmony where I am drawn in again and again. Her book? Let me tell you friends, her book is no exception.
Teresa writes,
” After a year of writing, designing, and pattern testing…I am so excited to finally share my book with you! Each time I sat down to write Modern Crochet, I tried to imagine the dream resource I wish I had on day one, and the one I wish to consult in my office today.
For first-time crocheters, I recalled the things that held me back, that made the craft seem intimidating and unappealing, and the teaching techniques that helped me learn the most. For seasoned crocheters, I reflected on the hacks that I felt differentiated my work, the resources that I consult time and time again, and the ways I pivot and add nuance to existing skills to get more modern results.
I hope this book finds you exactly where you are, inspires you with exclusive new patterns, and empowers you on your maker journey.” -Debrosse
