Prudence's Books
Available in June
New book on a group project by Prudence Mapstone and 64 members of the international free form crochet guild
"coat of many scrumbles - or just stop worrying and sew the dang things together"
Since the inception of the internet, like-minded souls have found it much easier to get together to share knowledge, ideas and inspiration. Artistic pursuits no longer need to be carried out in isolation, and many traditional crafts are becoming group experiences. This book tells the tale of one such collaboration, and is a celebration of personal creativity through freeform crochet.
