LEARNING TO CROCHET IS LIKE LEARNING TO RIDE A MOROTCYCLE: all you
need is one special tool and enough attitude to rule the tool. These
beginner accessories have plenty of attitude to help give your crochet
a kick-start; the revved-up yarn and the sleek styling mean
you’ll be on the road to cool success in zero to sixty flat. For more
glitter scarves, see pages 46-47 of the Spring 2006 issue of Interweave
Crochet magazine.
