My Second Favorite Crochet Book Yet!

This book is my second favorite crochet book yet! (By the way, my favorite is Get Hooked AGAIN!) The projects are fun, cool, and really easy! I have made quite a few projects in the book and my favorite has to be the Beauty Bin, Ring Cave, and Hankerchief. Really, and I mean it, BUY THIS BOOK!

i can finally crochet!!

i picked up this book after looking through at least 4 or 5 other ones. most of the projects in other books were either too intimidating or too confusing. i couldn't even figure out how to make any other stitch but the chain and slip stitch. but this book has clear, colorful pictures with easy to understand instructions and really cute projects. a couple of them could be finished in a day, if you're as obsessive as i am. :) i highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn how to crochet. it's a great beginners book. can't wait for the next one "get hooked again!" i don't know if i can wait until october! :)

Hip Patterns and Great Instructions

Kim's book is geared towards teens and tweens, but everytime I show it to grown ups there are choruses of "I'd make that!" or "I want one of those!" I teach a lot of kids and teen crochet classes, and this is always a popular book in the classroom. There are clear, easy to follow instructions, great patterns and a fun playful style. And it's affordable for kids and grownups too!

I'm hooked now!

Kim was the first person to teach me how to crochet correctly (you don't even want to know what I was doing before)! This book is the next best thing to having her with you in person. The photos are clear, the projects are fun and if you need a refresher course, you'll find everything you need to know. Love it!
