There are so few books about crochet colorwork-especially compared to knitting. This has always surprised me, since it is such a beautiful craft and there are so many different styles and variations! Perhaps it is because there are so many different approaches, and things to consider that making a book specifically for crocheters has become a daunting task. Whatever the reason, I've fallen in love with crochet colorwork and as anyone who has ever been in love knows... I just want to talk about my new love. All. The. Time. And what better audience than fellow crocheters?

It is true that you can use knitting color charts to crochet from-in fact, this book began as a sort-of sister book to Andrea Rangel's Alterknit Stitch Dictionary book. Her knitting stitch dictionary was inspirational to me, and it made me want to create an equivalent just for crocheters. I had tried out many of her knitted swatches in my crochet. But in order to have a successful colorwork project you will need more than just a great chart. You will need to understand crochet stitch anatomy: how the type of stitch that you use affects both the appearance of the colorwork, and the drape of the fabric (this makes a huge difference!) and how to make choices about gauge (tension), floats (or no floats), and yarn type to create a project that you will be proud of. My goal in writing this book is to take the guesswork out of crochet colorwork so that you can be confident when creating something new. I hope that you find inspiration in my stitch motifs, as I did in Andrea's. I absolutely cannot wait to see what you do with them!
