Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When I was in my 20s, I was a stay at home mom. I enjoyed reading, crafting, cross stitching, and crocheting doilies. My mom taught me how to make doilies and I could follow fairly intricate patterns. But, I never learned how to make anything else. I'm now in my 50s and teaching myself to knit. I happened to find a pretty scarf pattern that required crocheting. Unfortunately, I can't follow the pattern. I even found my mom's original crochet book from the 1950s & it isn't much help. So, off to Amazon I went to find a quality book on crochet. I looked at several books & read reviews on each. I settled on this book. I think every person who enjoys crochet would find this book helpful. The stitches and techniques are explained extremely well. I learn best visually. So, having a book that illustrates the stitches and how they should look in swatches is perfect for me. Suddenly, my scarf pattern now looks like something I can follow. I am thrilled. I expect to be able to markedly expand my crochet skills with the help of this book. I look forward to making scarves, afghans, hats, sweaters, and whatever else I decide to make with the assistance of this book. You Tube is great if you want to see a video on a stitch. But, I prefer a book at hand for a quick reference. So, if you want to learn to crochet or simply need help with more intricate work, this book will more than meet your needs.
