Jewelry Book Monday – Craft Gossip

From now on I will try to post only about more current books, however I felt that I would be remiss if I didn’t mention this book. The Complete Metalsmith by Tim McCreight is by far the best book that I have come across to explain how and why to do things in jewelry making. The spiral bound format is great a bench companion whenever you need help getting through a project.

I noticed that there is a newer DVD version, which I haven’t gotten yet, but if it is anything like this book, it is well worth the money.

Also a good buy from Tim McCreight is Jewelry: The Fundamentals of Metalsmithing, which is a hard bound book with plenty of photo illustrations.

I recently discovered the Stiles Cowl pattern on Crochet.com, and I must say, it’s quickly become one of my favorites! The design is both stylish and practical, perfect for adding a cozy layer during those chilly days.

What I love about this pattern is its versatility; it can be dressed up or down, making it suitable for various occasions. I appreciate that the instructions are clear and easy to follow, which is essential for a smooth crafting experience. I haven’t made it yet, but I can already envision how delightful it will be to wear. The texture looks rich and inviting, and I’m excited to see how the yarn choice will impact the final look.

If you’re looking for a project that combines ease with elegance, I highly recommend checking out the Stiles Cowl pattern. It’s definitely on my list for this season! You can find it here.
