Crochet So Fine, a Perfect Title!
I've always considered myself a knitting enthusiast, but lately crocheting and hairpin lace have taken my attention. This book has certainly helped guide me in that direction. Taking a crocheter beyond worsted weight yarn and afghans, Ms. Omdahl opens up a world a femininity and creativity with lighter weight yarns. The patterns are varied and gorgeous. Some are spidery, others "pineapple-ish," still others are net-like. Large (and I mean LARGE!)circular, and also triangular and rectangular shawls, gossamer tops, cover-ups, tunics are some of the highlights. There is at least one hairpin lace project to expand your crocheting skills. There are not-so-traditional scarves and berets. All are beautiful and the only negative I can think of about this book, is not be able to decide on which I want to do first! I haven't counted, so I"m taking the cover's word for it, that there are 20 projects included in the book. The book has basic crochet instructions, but I would suggest that a person needs good crochet experience for these patterns or a helpful tutor. The directions are both written and in symbol diagrams. I hope I've convinced you to purchase this book, as I'm VERY glad I did!

Helps a wide range of digestive issues.
This product is really a great help for digestive health. It helps heal long term digestive problems. It has helped my youngest son with ulcerative colitis. He, in fact recommended it to me after I discovered my issues were from lactose intolerance. My husband has used it while undergoing chemotherapy. It has REALLY helped him with those side effects. My daughter takes it when using medication for migraine headaches and the digestive issues that result from that. When taking doxycycline for tick bites or other anti-biotics, we definitely recommend this. We really rely on Digest Gold.

A DYER'S GARDEN Review
2 of 2 found this helpful A DYER'S GARDEN is a simple but comprehensive guide written by experienced gardener and fiber artist Rita Buchanan. She answers commonly asked questions and concerns of those curious about using dyes from nature versus synthetic dyes. Featuring her knowledge of gardening, Rita Buchanan discusses how to propagate, transplant and care for these plants. From small to large, she includes garden layouts for various size plots. A chart for the space constraints of individual plants is handy for referencing. Included is a section on the basic and general dyeing process. Fibers, equipment, mordants, and the gathering and storage of plants are discussed. Giving common and latin names, the reader has access to information on thirty different specific plants including related species, what parts of the plants are to be used, how to grow, and how to use as a dye. Efficiency, availability, what to grow, and not to grow round out the information. My interest in this subject was perked after a clerk at a local thrift store pointed out the book, NATURAL DYES AND HOME DYEING by Rita Adrosko, thinking I'd be interested. This book is very interesting but a bit archaic. I became hooked on the subject more when I visited demo day at nearby Manning's Weaving School and saw a natural dyeing demonstration. The demonstrator had a whole notebook filled with her experiments and samples. The process of dyeing is not as comprehensively discussed in A DYER'S GARDEN as in THE DYER'S COMPANION by Dagmar Klos, but has much more information on natural dye plants and their use. This is obvious since the whole book is devoted to the purpose. I would recommend any of these books to the fiber artistry enthusiast and have seen them repeatedly on E-Bay. RT
