Reviews

"The cactus patterns vary from extremely life like to slightly whimsical. The brightly lit photos are inspiring. The patterns use simple stitches and techniques but they vary in complexity...If you don't have a 'green thumb, ' or you just love crocheting for the home, you will enjoy Crocheted Succulents."--Underground Crafter"This cheery collection of 25 cacti and succulent projects is sure to bring a smile to your face! Hook one for your desk or coffee table or create a whole shelf of cacti to brighten your room. The designs use a range of techniques to create fun effects, including using fashion yarns for fuzzy spikes!"--Inside Crochet"This delightful gem offers everything readers need to get started in crochet."--Craft Focus"This is a great choice for the green-fingered crocheter who can't quite keep the real thing alive, but can instead enjoy these yarn versions for years to come, or even whip a small garden up to give as a gift! We know readers of this book will have as much fun as we did flicking through and picking your new weekend project."--Crochet Now"If you're hankering after an indoor garden but don't have the greenest fingers, this could be the perfect book for you.
