Kernersville, N.C. (PRWEB) August 12, 2005 -- Three new crochet books hit the shelves last month from designer Maggie Weldon. Hand crafted accessories have been among the most popular projects in the needlework world this past year. Weldon has taken her best fashion accessory designs and published them under the titles, Ponchos," Purses" and Scarves."

Weldon has mixed texture, color and style to craft smart and fashionable accessories to the modern wardrobe. There is a little something for every crocheter in these pattern collections, with projects for beginners as well as experts. Weldon enjoys blending new novelty yarns with traditional standbys, making projects that both the traditional and the chic crocheter can enjoy.

Weldons goal has always been to publish easy-to-follow patterns, using yarn readily available in most craft and hobby stores. These new publications are no exception. With color pictures, diagrams and special stitch instructions, Weldon goes out her way to make her patterns readable and easy to follow.

In a 2004 consumer study, the Craft Yarn Council of America estimated that 21% of American women know how to crochet. They also determined that two-thirds of yarn projects made by women in the United States in 2004 were crocheted. The art of crochet is continuing to grow in the U.S., and it is showing no signs of stopping.
