A new look at crocheting sweaters – top down crochet
Top-Down Crochet Sweaters: Fabulous Patterns with Perfect Fit
By: Dora Ohrenstein
Rating: 5 of 5
This is my second crochet book by Dora Ohrenstein. The first, “The Crocheter’s Skill-Building Workshop” has become a resource book for me that I look to time and time again. While the first book was a general crochet book, this one is specific to making crochet sweaters.
I have made a number of crochet garments over the years and they have all been ones that I make piece by piece and then have to whip stitch together. With the top down method, you still have to piece together parts but the way the garment crocheted together is considerably different. There is a real emphasis on drape that is new to me.

24 larger coloring plus more than 50 stickers great for kids and adults printed on one side of the page
An Adventure in Arendelle (Disney Frozen) (Big Coloring Book)
By: Frank Berrios
Rating: 5 of 5
We are big Disney fans at our house and were really pleased to find this coloring/sticker book. According to the product description, it is geared toward children and I understand that completely. However, I found it fun to color in as an adult.
The 24 pages of designs are a larger format than the usual coloring book. There is a handle that creates a cut through hole in all of the pages (too bad as it would have been nicer to have the whole picture but it probably makes it easier for children to carry.) There is also a fun sheet of stickers. The paper is thin, white (rather than the usual childrens off-white newspaper style pages) and pages can be removed from the glue bound edge with a little bit of care. The back of the book is a heavy duty cardboard. It makes for an excellent surface for coloring where ever you are.
