Good Reads: Crochet Boutique

The lovely book, Crochet Boutique, was sent over courtesy of Lark Crafts for review just in time for cooler weather in Colorado Springs. Crochet Boutique by Rachael Oglesby is full of beautiful pieces to fill in your wardrobe this fall and winter. These straightforward projects are not only the kind you can knock off your list in an evening or weekend, they're the kind your friends will actually enjoy receiving as gifts this Christmas! Here are a few of my favorites...

I love a creative challenge but I also love a project that's realistic. I see a circle scarf in my near future! 

To give you a taste of the way this book is written Lark Books is sharing an exclusive, downloadable set of instructions for one of the book’s projects, this darling headwrap, below!

If you're in the market for a few new crochet projects and don't want something cheesy or dated, you may want to pick up a copy of Crochet Boutique. A special thanks to Lark Books for sharing this free project on Smile and Wave!

Thanks for sharing pictures of the projects! I'd seen this book on other blogs, but it was your pictures that gave me a good idea of all the projects in the book. I found it at my local bookstore yesterday and I've started on the slouchy beanie. Can't wait!
