[Debbi-a1]

Does anyone know about this? Says it's not released yet... but maybe someone knows or has one anyway? Sounds interesting and I was looking for a stitch book...

I just saw it over at Amazon

 

I was looking at the crochet a day calendar. and saw this 365 stitches one... This one is a Perpetual calendar.

A perpetual calendar is a great idea! And one of stitches - that you can use as you wish can be such an inspiration!

 

And I have that book, "201 Crochet Motifs, Blocks, Patterns and Ideas"! I really like it! It contains some very unique and lovely ideas! There was a thread about the book on here a little while ago too.

I ended up getting this finally and I love it! I haven't had a chance to try out any of the stitches, but I'm going to soon...

The 365 (actually 366 because of Leap Year) Stitches perpetual calendar was released last November! It is by Jean Leinhauser and Rita Weiss and published by Martingale.

 

You can order it on Amazon.

Oh, I gotta have this one! It's on my list.

[moonspinners]

I have all these books. The perpetual calendar is really great. I use it a lot. Hmm...I wonder if Jean and Rita will have a sequel.... 'Cause one can never have too many stitch patterns.

[jleinhauser]

Jean has no intention of having a sequel! It occupied a whole year of my life. I couldn't

even look at crochet for about six months after it was finished! I didn't want to use just the same old stitches found everywhere else, so I spent every night until the wee hours searching foreign sites on the internet, finding maybe a blouse in a Russian publication that had an interesting stitch, then trying to figure out how the stitch was made -- that type of thing. I think I eventually used stitches found on sites from Russia, Ukraine, France,

Spain, Italy, Brazil and a few others. The most difficult in terms of technique came from Japan. THey were all in symbol form of course -- I don't know all of those languages -- and many were hand drawn and hard to read. I must have made three or four swatches for every one before I got them right. Tten I had to write out all the patterns, and from these a wonderful contract crocheter made all the photographed swatches.

 

Interestingly, though each country uses basically the same symbols, each had slightly different ways of drawing them, so each was like learning a new language.
