Customer Reviews

Great Book and Great Service

This book shipped quickly and was well packed and in very good condition for a used book

Very Nice, easy, cute patterns.

I really love this book and the other new release Vanna crochet book. They are both easy and real patterns without mistakes. If you haven't tried the yarn she uses before,,,you should also try it out. Nice, stretchy, and thick. Easy to work with. I have only crocheted for a year or so and consider myself a beginner. A lot of patterns out there are hard for me to understand but I really understand most of Vanna's (except the baby booties)....my fault I'm sure. Otherwise a good book for a beginner. You won't be disappointed.

Great Charity and Gift Ideas

Several different patterns for hats, comfortghans, scarves and booties are included in this book. Patterns are offered in crochet as well as some in knit. A variety of sizes and styles make it a great overall resource to use up scraps of yarn for a worthwhile cause or as a gift.

Relax with knit/crochet and help a charity

Love to knit or crochet? Love to make things for a good cause? Then Vanna's book, VANNA'S CHOICE, will point you in the right direction. What better cause than St. Jude's Hospital? There are 12 knit and 13 crochet projects in her book. Make one and donate it to a child fighting for their life at St. Jude's Hospital. From warps, to afghans, to slippers to hats and scarves, there is a project for everyone, even if you are just a beginner. There are four pages describing the work that goes on at St. Jude's and the Quilt of Dreams event. After reading these pages, you will want to grab your knitting needles or crochet hook and some yarn and make several items to give. The yarn of choice is Vanna's Choice yarn by Lion Brand. It is soft and comfy feeling and comes in earth tones. What better way to heal than to connect with our earth! Each project has a color photo and the instructions are clearly written and easy to follow. Skill level and yarn weight recommendations are also given with each project. Seven pages of general instructions include weight definitions and hook or needle sizing chart as well as the skill level definitions. If you have forgotten a basic, these pages will help you get going again. It is nice to see that a STAR is willing to be down-to-earth and help others. Grab a copy and be part of this wonderful charity.
