Mindful prompts and meditations begin each project, while helpful tips on incorporating the principles of Feng Shui into both crafts and life are peppered throughout the book. Beautifully illustrated with full-color photography and charming line art, Feng Crochet asks crafters of all skill levels to look inward as they create objects to bring peace and tranquility to their most treasured spaces.
