In the Author's Words.....
"A switch to crochet can be a freeing experience for an avid knitter. The experience of crochet lends itself to freeform improvisation. Your are freed from thinking in horizontal (rows) and vertical (stitches). This modus operandi has a natural fit with my design sensibility. After exploring crochet in depth, I have an equal love and respect for it and knitting. I hope my perspective wil be enjoyed by knitters who are delving into crochet as well as by crafters for whom crochet is their forte".pg 9

From the publisher..... "By her own admission, Teva Durham used to be a "knit snob." No longer. Now, the influential needlecraft guru has become a "two-timer," bringing the same ingenuity, innovative eye, and solid fashion sense that she's always exhibited in her knitting design to the world of crochet.

In Loop-d-Loop Crochet, Durham presents more than 25 designs that are as up-to-the-minute, style-wise, as they are thoroughly steeped in crochet stitchwork tradition. Each of the projects, which range from purses, skirts, shawls, and sweaters for the whole family to a hammock and a pair of brocade boots, epitomizes Durham's signature design sensibility, which she describes as "a tension of opposites—rough-hewn yet delicate, stark yet feminine, organic yet structured." Decked out in evocative color photographs (by Adrian Buckmaster), a diverse cast of models show off the finished garments.

Beginner and advanced crocheters will find Durham's novel approach refreshing and inspiring. And for newcomers just making the switch from knitting, Loop-d-Loop Crochet provides the perfect introduction to what Durham terms the "flip side" of needlecraft's heritage. Crochet is a freeing experience, Durham says—a sentiment with which her many fans are certain to agree."
