Of Sheryl Thies and how much I love her work / Sheryl Thies ed il mio amore per il suo lavoro

Do you know  designer  Sheryl Thies ? Last year I purchased both her  books about Tunisian crochet ,  Get Hooked on Tunisian Crochet   and  Tunisian Crochet Encore , and I completely fell in love with her neat, clever designs. Get Hooked on Tunisian Crochet   is, in my opinion, the  ideal book for those who just learnt Tunisian crochet  and want to know the technique better in a stimulating way. It contains  pretty easy patterns  (you can preview 'em  here ), which are  lovely for more expert users who want to relax a bit , too. Tunisian Crochet Encore , Sheryl's second book about Tunisian crochet, contains patterns (preview  here ) that are  a bit more complex , e.g. items that are made working in the round or with short rows. It's very interesting for crocheters who want to try their hand at something new. I think this is the  perfect follow-up to the first book . What I love about Sheryl's designs is that  she doesn't try to make her items look like knitte
