'80's Retro
I purchased this book thinking the patterns were recent. These patterns could be considered vintage or early 80's retro. It's great if that's what you're looking for. I was disappointed.

Great Scrap Yarn Vest
Have small amounts of leftover yarn in various colors?I made the scrap yarn vest in this book and I love it!I am planning to make another one with more scrap yarn to give as a gift.It uses basic stitches in an interesting way to create nice color contrasts.Beginners can do this project, and advanced crocheters will also enjoy it.

The other patterns in this book are okay - nothing really strikes my fancy, but they don't look difficult to make. ... Read more

I leaned to crochet from this book!
When I was on bed rest, I was so bored.I asked my husband to go out and buy me some, books, yarn and hooks so I could learn to crochet.He got me this book.

It's a terrific choice for a beginner.The pictures are large, the instructions easy to follow, even for left-handed people like me.It would be even easier for right-handed folk.I was able to do many of the projects in the book, including the stuffed koala bear for my son right from the start!Other patterns include a reversible afghan, a baby afghan, a vest, coasters, a scarf and a dishcloth.They are simple and look great.

Every now and then, I need a little refresher.Although I now have many books, I always go back to this one.I recommend it for every beginner. ... Read more

The Basics... Maybe???
When I purchased this book, I could already knit the very basics and my crocheting skills were excellent.I had hoped to move beyond the very minimal knitting skills I had.However this book hardly teaches even those.It even has some major disappointments, such as the scarf pattern. If anyone follows the pattern exactly their project will curl up just horrible.I reccomend instead Stitch N' Bitch, which won't leave you a "Dummy" after you read it.

The Basics...but Nothing Beyond
I bought this book as a person with some crocheting experience and no knitting experience who wanted to learn more of both.I liked that it included the essentials--needles, stitch markers, point protectors, little scissors, etc; and it showed the absolute basics of both.I found the illustrations and steps to follow very clear and easy, but whenever I wanted to do more than just those basics, I was lost and needed to purchase additional books.I think this book is good for people who want to try a little of knitting and crocheting and decide which they want to learn more about, but not to depend on as a tool to learn any techniques.

If it doesn't teach a beginner the basics, how good can it be?
We decided to take up knitting. (I spend entirely too much time watching baseball games; I should at least do something with my hands.) So we picked up Knitting & Crocheting for Dummies at a local craft store. I should have kept walking, instead.

The package includes two sets of needles and a crochet hook. Unfortunately, that's the only justification for this book.

The major criticism is that this book hasn't taught either of us to knit. I flipped through the pictures and the text, and somehow didn't feel inspired to try. My husband sat down with the full intention of learning the skill -- and he still couldn't figure it out. (This is a guy who has taught himself woodworking and software programming skills from books, so it sure isn't his weakness.) There are a few drawings, but not enough, and they aren't very clear. He did manage to knit 20 stitches before he gave up on the instructions, but the exercise was accompanied with lots of cussing.

I took two books out of the library on knitting basics, and both of them -- accompanied with plenty of photos -- are significantly better than this purchase. ... Read more

Product Description
Hook, loop and shape!

No, this isn’t some sort of an abbreviated strategy to bait your fiancé into marriage.First you hook the poor, unsuspecting fellow, loop him into the marriage cord and then shape him to suit your taste.The male species are a lot smarter these days and it will take them lock, stock and barrel before they would even consider crawling towards the bait.

But hook, loop and shape you certainly can do when you engage in one of the most endearing hobbies of all times – crochet.It’s one of the few art forms left that you can do at your own leisurely pace, one writer calling it the perfect accompaniment to daydreaming.

It is probably while crocheting that strategies concerning your significant other will come most naturally.Because if you angle that hook properly and turn and twist it cleverly, then you might end up with the most effective bait there is.

If you’re looking for versatility, crochet has it all.Shapes, colors, textures and weight all combine to produce potentially hundreds of objects that will make you smile and elicit oohs, ahhs and “I’ve got to have this” reactions from family and friends.Because once that yarn is defined into its final shape, a true labor of love manifests itself.

And crochet is not just an ordinary craft, certainly not a mere part of the bigger universe of sewing.If you have to ponder size and weight and yarn texture, crochet turns magically into a science.It has its own set of symbols and abbreviations, its own blueprints.Without knowing what they signify, we could not crochet, forcing us to lead a “threadbare” existence.

A crocheted object can keep us warm in the winter, cradle our boiling pots and pans, suspend our plants from the ceiling, protect our paper money and coins, cover the stains and scratches in our furniture, dress up the baby’s cradle and make a fashion statement.

The fondness for crocheting has not waned since the early ages.Just glance at the arts and crafts section of any bookstore.Last time we checked, there were more books on crochet than there were books on the DaVinci code.And unhook the belief that crocheting is reserved for creatures who sit on rocking chairs all day.
Where have you been?

Teenagers are having fun with it.So are 30 somethings and those who are past their childbearing years.

Let’s see if we can get you hooked…
