"I got this book yesterday, and cannot put it down. I started crocheting a month ago, confused but determined to learn. The last day I have had more epiphanies regarding crocheting - all thanks to this book. As Debbie Stoller says herself, many books on crocheting are more confusing than helpful, lacking basic information such as the fact that one usually crochets through the *two* top loops (and not one, as I did for my first month of crocheting - believing I was doing it correctly). Debbie has made an awesome book for beginners, explaining the basic stitches in a simple and humoristic manner. While I have read on amazon that her patterns contains errors (I have not yet tried any of them, but they look cool), the explanations on how to crochet are alone worth buying this book. My best book buy in ages!!"
"The best crochet book there is! The instructions are super clear - I don't know how Debbie Stoller managed to make what is quite a difficult subject to explain easy to understand, plus its humourous and there are loads of explanations of many of the types of stitches in crochet.
The book is split into two parts - a section on instructions and then a section of patterns. The only downside to me, if there is one, is that the patterns are not all to my taste, but the instructions in the first half are so good that the whole thing is worth having anyway!"
"By the power of Grayskull, I WILL learn to hook! For some reason, I cannot figure out how to start the second row. I need to check out what Stoller has online. The directions for starting the first row were excellent, but I must be missing something because I cannot get row two started."
"Absolutely excellent for someone picking up crochet for the first time (or in a really, really long time). Terminology, patterns and persona are all quite modern and allow EASY understanding of every stitch. Perhaps the best crochet help book I have ever purchased. Well worth every penny with to-die-for patterns, and excellent pictorial helps along the way."
