Disappointed
The cover states "Complete Guide to Converting Knit Patterns to Crochet." This led me to believe I would find step-by-step instructions for taking a knit pattern and converting it to crochet. Not so. The only really helpful advice for converting is the recommendation for substituting yarns to obtain the correct gauge. Then there is a page and a half devoted to the importance of gauge and suggestions for what to do with all your gauge swatches. The rest of the book contains crochet patterns using stitches that resemble popular knit stitches. Any experienced crocheter could figure that out on their own, or just open a crochet stitch guide. To truly live up to the title and description of the book, it should have contained several complete knit patterns, with detailed step-by-step instructions for converting the pattern and the completely converted crochet instructions. Basically, it's just another crochet pattern book.
