A Beginner Book

+ Liked this book - disagree with other reviewers.

I got this book for my little sister, who is learning how to crochet. The projects were a little too simple for me (I've been crocheting for 18 years), but I really liked it and wanted to give it to someone who could learn crochet from it (I would like to have had a book like that when I was ...

Candy Blankies: Cuddly Crochet for Babies & Toddlers10 reviews
Candi Jensen

Sixth&Spring Books, 2004

Some cute ones in here

+ GREAT BUY!!!!
+ By far, the best crocheted baby blanket book out there

Okay, I'm a sucker for cute babies and cute crochet/knit projects....so sue me. I like that Ms Jensen has included some designs that move away from the over done but somehow obligatory pastel pink and blue. I worry, though, how safe her added "sheep", flowers, and pom poms are.

great afghans, new stitch ideas

This book has a good number of great afghans I plan to make. There are many pattern "creators" in this book (they are not all patterns by Donna Kooler) which makes for a great variation of styles and stitches. Up until now I have only made afghans from the Leisure Arts books, and this one has ...

This book of afghans offers so many lovely (and easy) patterns that I've ordered many others as presents for my family and friends.

Janet Hobbs

Simon & Schuster Australia, 2003

Beautiful, unique designs!

+ Useful and not too difficult....

The cover of this book was what spurred me to purchase it. As a long time crocheter, the combination of the stitches is what appealed to me. The author is from Australia and the book uses the English terms for crochet. This isn't a problem; many on line sites have comparative charts; ...

My Classic

+ A Really Complete Book for Beginners

I have crocheted since early childhood - a wonderful Swedish grandmother taught me to keep me entertained during allergy seasons. For many years this skill was my closely-guarded secret. Liberated women didn't ply the home crafts, so I wouldn't admit to crocheting if tortured. I've aged some ...
