Black leather granny squares are anything but square, and hot pink organic hemp gives crocheted vases a decidedly modern cachet. InUncommon Crochet, designer Julie Armstrong Holetz applies new ideas and unconventional materials--like wire, raffia, jute, sisal, recycled belts, fabric strips, and felted beads--to twenty-five patterns for bins, baskets, totes, handbags, clutches, jewelry, and more. Step-by-step instructions, detailed how-to photographs, and essential advice about creativity, design, and experi-mentation encourage you to play with fiber, add funky embellishments, and use your creative spirit to customize any pattern--even the ones in this book! From practical containers like Red's Goodie Basket (a stylish home for your WIP--works in progress) and Vintage Satchel (a sturdy retro messenger bag) to just plain fun projects like Petite Fleur Vases (tiny bud vases that hold water) and Sushi (crocheted California rolls, anyone?), Uncommon Crochet offers fresh twists on old-school techniques that turn simple projects into gift-worthy creations.

About the Author
THE AUTHOR SCOOP
What are you working on now?
Right now, I'm experimenting with garment design for kids. I really want to create contemporary projects that my kids will want to wear.
Do you eat your vegetables?
I love vegetables when they are in season. The one vegetable I cannot stand in the least is Brussels sprouts. I will not eat them with a goat, I will not eat them in a boat, I will not eat them here nor there. I will not eat them anywhere.
When did you know you were a writer?
I'm a writer?
Have any good pet stories?
My mother really likes having lizards as pets. Once she gave me a baby iguana for a pet. When I left on a trip I asked her to care for my little iguana until I returned. When I came to retrieve my pet, I noticed that it looked different. It looked smaller somehow. After considering what could possibly be wrong, I asked my mother if it was possible that my iguana died and she tried to find an identical replacement to keep me from knowing. She said no, but ended up admitting her scheme a week later.
Vodka or gin martini?
Vodka, baby, all the way. Vodka is the people's drink.
Are you "six degrees of separation" away from anyone famous?
My uncle wrote the song "I'm Lovin' It" that eventually became a McDonald's jingle. My kids love that.
If you had to boil your book's message down to one sentence, what would it be?
It's okay to step out of the box, allow yourself to become inspired and explore the possibilities of what your fingers can create.
