Author Helle Kampp Mathorne jumps right into the patterns at the start of the book, leaving all the technique information to the end.\u003cbr\u003eIf you've tried Tunisian crochet before, you'll know that it can give a very dense fabric, a potential problem which Helle seems to have avoided by using large hook sizes and soft, fine yarns. The result is a drapier fabric, which is much more comfortable for sweaters.Helle has been involved in needlework and handcraft all her life; she learned to embroider and knit when she was 5 years old, and was sewing her own clothes when she was 14.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 1994, when she became a handicraft teacher, she has worked professionally, both in fabric and yarn, designing, and teaching workshops.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough her company, Kampp Design, she has worked for a number of years as a freelance designer for handicraft magazines, designing knitting, crochet and Tunisian crochet patterns.\u003cbr\u003eThe publication of \u003ci\u003eTunisian Crochet for All Seasons\u003c\/i\u003e is a realization of a 30-year dream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelle lives in Farum, Copenhagen, Denmark.","brand":"Search Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46299704983781,"sku":"NP9781800922402","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781800922402.jpg?v=1767743037","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/tunisian-crochet-isbn-9781800922402","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
