Hooked on Crochet: 20 Sassy Projects

A nice read thanks.

it's a quite good book-guide. Gives you a small idea in how you can crochet with your hook different things (clothes,ornaments etc). Explains very good from the begining to the end the technique of crochet not only by describing but also with photos.It's helpful enough for the begginers and i think for the intermediates too.

Really nice CROCHET patterns for a change! The instructions are clear and the diagrams are very helpful. I especially like that the pictures show the item as it's being used not draped overe a chair. My daughter is 19 and the garments are more geared to her taste (and size). She has 3 projects lined up for me already. The only slightly negative comment is that the lovely yarns used are usually only found in specialty yarn shops or online and they are a bit pricy. I'm not new to crochet so I'll be able to find subs but a beginner might have a little trouble.

Good book -- as I have discovered -- most books that you purchase have all the basic instructions on how to do basic stitches, and then they move on to projects. I gave this book 4 stars for that reason -- I feel if I purchase a book on projects, I want the project instructions, not the basic on how to crochet. I bought a "How to Crochet" book for that information.Good book -- good projects, and nice layout.

When I first got this book, I thought ho-hum just another one for the new crocheter. But on further looks I find several projects this jaded crocheter wants to make such as that skirt. I also like the granny square scarf (one can't have too many of those), and the little bikini comes with a schematic which most bikini patterns don't bother with (such as in Leapman's cool crochet). I do think the eyeglass case needs a lining as otherwise the frame is going to get caught in the stitches. In short of the 20 projects quite a few are on my to-make list so it is highly recommended.
