In this video I’m chatting about a NEW crochet pattern book that, in my opinion, is a total must-have if you love collecting patterns you’ll actually use. I talk through what makes a pattern book worth your money—clear layout, patterns that are easy to follow, and projects that feel fun instead of frustrating. As a blind crocheter, I’m always thinking about accessibility too: how readable the instructions are with screen readers, how consistent the formatting is, and whether the patterns are written in a way that makes counting and checking your work doable. I also share where I like to shop for yarn and tools when I’m planning projects from books—because the right hook, the right yarn, and a few simple notions can make the whole experience smoother. If you’re building your crochet library or you’re looking for a gift idea for a yarny friend, this is one of those videos where I give you my “here’s what I look for” checklist and some handy links to the places I trust. And if you want extra help, I’ve got options for private instruction so you’re not stuck trying to decode a pattern alone.
