My children laugh at me for knitting and crocheting, like only old grandmas do it. I like a different perspective and enjoy this book's new spin on an old yarn. Well done.

I Love It!
I saw this book on Amazon, and thought it looked interesting, but I prefer to check crochet books out of the library first, to preview them before I buy them. I got this book from the library today, and after looking through it, I must say that I love it! So many crochet books claim to have trendy or up to date patterns, but don't actually deliver. This book does. The patterns are cute, fresh and ...

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!

Crazy Compliments!
I get more compliments on my creations from the patterns in this book! Most people think I spent a ton of $$ on purchasing the hats and want to know where I got them. When I tell them I made them the automatic response is no way - you should totally sell them! The book is easy to follow and the hats work up quickly. Prior to this book I had only made scarves and blankets - nothing with a real ...

Great book for new (and even not so new) crocheters!
I bought this book after checking out the first "Get Hooked" from the library, and really liking it. This book is just as good! The book is geared towards teenagers, but even as an thirtysomething woman, I still really liked it. I already know how to crochet, so I didn't need the learn to crochet instructions at the front of the book, but they seem like they would be easy to learn from, ...

Good for Beginners
This is a great book for beginners. It shows the stiches in an easy-to-understand manner and has some great patterns. The only downfall is that the book is very brief. I feel like the author could have went more in-depth about crochet considering it is a book for beginners.
