Tunisian Cables to Crochet Paperback – October 1, 2012

If you're a crocheter longing to duplicate knitted cable designs, or a knitter who has lost patience with the complexities of knitted cables, this book is for you. And, if you don't fit into either of those categories, but just like crocheting or knitting, this book is for you, too!There really are new things under the sun, and this book is one of them. Kim Guzman has come up with a totally unique way of duplicating knitted cable designs in Tunisian crochet. Once you've learned the concepts, you'll be able to duplicate any knitted cable design in Tunisian crochet, which looks like knitting--but is faster to make, harder wearing and more unique than knitting, since it cannot be duplicated by machine.Kim's projects are clever and elegant. And, you can use her methods to copy most knitted cable patterns, and do it in a way that is faster and more fun than knitting.These methods are unlike anything you've ever seen before. Even confirmed knitters and those unfamiliar with Tunisian owe it to themselves to learn this clever new way of creating cable patterns.

Kim Guzman is my go-to author for all things Tunisian crochet and this book has been on my wish-list for a while now. I gave up on hinting and hoping that my family members would gift me it and finally decided to treat myself. I'm so glad that I did!The projects cover the full range from beginners at this technique to some wonderfully challenging projects. The patterns are clear and the techniques are fully explained. I couldn't be happier!

This is a nice book with quite a number of interesting ideas and projects. The examples are helpful, but not great, and the overall design of the book needs help. It doesn't make me excited to jump into a project like some other books do.

This book seems to be for the more experienced Tunisian Crochet enthusiast, but I am going to try it any way. I wish there was an afghan pattern in it but I think it would be easy to take one of the patterns and transform it into an afghan.

Who knew cables could be done with a crochet hook!!!! If you are more of a visual person and need to SEE how it works, there are many videos on YouTube to help with these special stitches. This book also offers an abundance of beautiful projects. My mother in law who had been an avid knitter for 60 years, could not believe her eyes!! Once you get the hang of it, cables will become very easy to do.

I really like this book. I have completed one of the included patterns thus far and plan to do more as time allows. Ms Guzman's instructions are easy to understand. I definitely will be purchasing more of her books as I can.

This is an interesting and informative Tunisian crochet book. It is a step beyond the regular Tunisian stitches which is what I was looking for. I haven't tried any of the patterns yet. But I am anxious to jumpin!

What can I say, I am not really in love with the patterns inside and I don't find the instructions very clear, especially when there are no pictures accompanying the text. Not a bad book, but not great either.

Great book even though I'm still learning and haven't finished anything yet.

Tout en anglais mais ça va je me débrouille ! Et puis les images sont assez explicites .... Donc ça va . Mais quand même ce type de livre ou magasine mériterait sa traduction en français pour celles et ceux qui savent faire j’aurais bien aimé.

This slim book explains how to do cables in Tunisian crochet, with diagrams and clear explanations. It also contains 11 projects to try out the technique, which showcase the look and use of cables in Tunisian. A number of the wraps and scarves look very inviting, and I am looking forward to trying out cables in this new way

Well, English is, next to German, my mother tongue. Nevertheless, it's hard to follow the row by row instructions. It would have been better to have used graphic charts like in the "Tunisian Crochet Stitch Guide". Nice projects though.

la brossura è molto bella, ma scritta totalmente in inglese senza che vi siano i simboli convenzionali/internazionali che faciliterebbero la comprensione dei punti e delle tecnicheu0 usate anche da parte di coloro che non masticano molto la lingua inglese. Peccato, la Guzman preferisce sempre solo affidarsi alle abbreviazioni in inglese il che limita il pregio dell'opera... personalmente sono dovuta a andare a intuito e basandomi sulla esperienza che avevo in materia, nonchè guardando tutorial su internet (gratis) che per fortuna, non mancano...
