So interesting Jill! I borrow them from the library (multiple times haha). Romantic Crochet by Emma Escott is a favourite. I did buy the Harry Potter knitting and crochet books years ago and still haven’t made anything. I have a few magazines but I also mainly borrow these in e-form from the Libby app from the library
@@jopetal oh Jo, would you believe that people have stolen the crochet hooks from the Library! I went in to put my name in line for them and the girl said they had all not bern returned (stolen) I was so shocked 😱😱 that was pretty slack wasn’t it 😬
@@gumleaf_crochet_and_yarn unfortunately these are the difficult times in which we live now. We can only hope they are getting well used 😣
@@jopetal that’s a really nice way of thinking about it Jo 💝
Hi Jill, that was so interesting. Like you, I love to look through a crochet book (and recipe books!) but it is not often I actually make anything from them! I am certainly tempted to buy a few of the ones you have mentioned. I loved the way you showed us the pages properly, thank you. And, you are amazing, so talented! I am so impressed how you have embraced You Tube and developed your channel. Xx
@@estherbartlett9667 Thankyou for your kindness Esther, I’m really enjoying this I must say 😁😁. You have reminded me that I do the same thing with recipe books too 😆🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for sharing your books with us. Mix & Match is now in my Amazon cart. All of your works are A-MAZ-ING!
@@roseydiva1183 Thankyou so much for your kindness, you will enjoy that book, I love it 😁😁
Hi Jill. Wow some beautiful books there. I have a few of Shelley's books which I actually love. you have shown three that i would consider buying to add to my collection. They are Tunisian Crochet, Cosy Crochet Blankets and Mix an Match Modern crochet blankets. You are correct about not having somewhere here to buy such books makes it hard. Amazon is my go to now for the books. I totally agree with you about holding and feeling and smelling the books yes I am that person too! ❤
@@caroltisdell4059 yay, another one of my tribe 😁😁😁, those 3 are a really good choice Carol 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow your twinkling star blanket is lovely!
@@wendymclachlan521 Thankyou so much Wendy 🌟
I’ve just added to my crochet book library. 😊. I love books so much I even buy multiples of the same book! More than once even!
@@RosieAtHome aw that’s funny Rosie 😆😂 which ones are you enjoying at the moment?
Hi Jill from Ireland I am the same I have a lot of crochet books and leaflets and I am like you I've hardly ever made anything from them but love looking at them thanks for sharing enjoying your channel.💝💝💝
@@deborahm4484 Thankyou so much for being here Deb, it’s nice to find someone similar isn’t it 💖💖
I have a couple of these Jill, but have to confess I haven’t made much from them, I just use them for inspiration and reference! Like you, I love to leaf through a book and enjoy just “ browsing” ❤
@@SaraGilchrist-d2w so nice to be from the same tribe Sara 😁😁💖💖
I’m the same Jill; I buy them just to read. Though I have occasionally made toys from Amigurumi books that I have bought.
Seems as though it’s a thing, many of us seem to do the same thing 😆🤣
Thanks for the little run through of your books Jill 😊 I have had Mandy’s book for ages but am yet to make something from it.. I need to get back to my Mix and Match blanket! I only have one or two more strips to go before joining 😍
@@InmysparetimeCrochet seems many of us do the same thing with our crochet books 📚😂😂. You are doing well with your mix and match blanket, I’m really struggling with this one, but it will come together at some stage 😉👍🏼😁
Hi Jill. I also have a stack of crochet books but have I made anything out of any of them? No unfortunately not. Why not? I have no idea. I found YT to be easier to use.
@@sonjamarshall4775 Sonja, I’m giggling right now 😆😂😂😂 how funny are we with our crochet books, yet we enjoy buying them 💖💝
I have probably 10 books and just ordered another one. I also buy online. I have used mine quite a bit though. I have noticed though that the more books I have the more I realize that they have a lot of the same stitch patterns. I do look for books with stitch diagrams, don't like to read the way other people write patterns lol.
@@adfriesen ahhhhh, love it, so glad you get use from yours, I thought no it will hade to be my New Year’s resolution 😂😂. If we were able to look in side the books first we might manage to get more diverse stitches and patterns, such a pity about no bookstores anymore 📚
Hi Jill, I have a few of those books too and some others. I love the Mix n Match book and I recently purchased The Year of Granny Squares book. One of my favourites is 100 Crochet Borders. I use that one all the time for my blankets but I must admit I tend to use the same 2 or 3 borders in it. I used to use the books alot more pre Ravelry and RUclips. There are so many free patterns now and tutorials too. Nothing like a beautiful book though to delight the senses even if it’s just for inspiration ideas. I even have a Jane Austen inspired crochet book which I’m yet to make anything from but it’s beautiful. I want to try the Shelley Husband books and would love to do one of her workshops. I’m interested to try her patterns now that you’ve talked about it. See if I can follow them.
@@CrochetCavalier I love every word you wrote here, it bought me so much joy to read, Thankyou, love your style 😁😁❤️❤️
I recently started learning Tunisian crochet and I have the book from Toni Lipsey, but those two other books you've showed are now in my cart as well😅. Hooked on Tunisian now. I have loads of crochet books and use them often. Your crochet projects look gorgeous!
@@johannadina7355 oh Johanna, I’m so happy to hear that one of us uses her books a lot 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I love Tunisian, oh I wish I could see yours 😁😁 Apparently YT is bringing out a community feature soon so you girls can share photos with me, I’m really excited about that for us 👏🏽🥲😁😁💖💝
Lovely selection of books there, thanks for sharing. I wonder if they are Australian or US stitches as I heard there is a difference. Being a beginner, I am sure I would get in a muddle. Bought some pretty sock yarn and now want to find simple starter patterns to try. Love your vlogs, thank you 👏
@@laurelb8372 hi Laurel, Thankyou for joining us here 😁😁. Oh yes, the US & UK stitches confused me in the beginning for sure. The book I had trouble with is written in UK terms which I’ll use if I have to (but need conversion chart near by 😆)too, I usually use US terminology, simply because that’s what I was taught with 👍🏼👍🏼. I’m so happy you are enjoying my videos, I’m loving making them & chatting to you all 🍃🍃🍃🍃
Lovely selection of books there, thanks for sharing. Your blanket is gorgeous but perhaps my choice would be Mix and Match. I wonder if they are Australian or US stitches as I heard there is a difference. Being a beginner, I am sure I would get in a muddle, do you have a recommendation for a beginner style book please Jill. Bought some pretty sock yarn and now want to find simple starter patterns to try. Love your vlogs, thank you 👏
@@laurelb8372 oh, I have the Mix n Match book in US terms, often the designer will sell them in both terminology. The only beginner books that I know of are from Shelly Husband, @spincushion. Her book titled “Granny Square Academy” sounds like it would be a great one for you, it comes in both terms, so you can choose which one suits you 😁😁
