2.0étoiles sur 5 Good, but not quite there!, Juil 7 2004
Par Un client
When I bought this book, I thought it would have good diagrams, good patterns and good advice. It did not have any of the above. Miss Righetti sounds too matronly, always talking about "mother nature", "foremothers", "She", meaning God. I think this is all fine, but I got tired of all the redundancy. The diagrams where not clear, and old looking! All in all, I would not recommend this book! Trust me!

3.0étoiles sur 5 OK for new crocheters, Aoû 23 2003
Par Un client
I'm glad I got this book at a closeout price, because as an experienced crocheter, I didn't find much of value in this book other than a couple of edging and motif patterns. On the other hand, I probably would have appreciated this when I was teaching myself to crochet. The author has a pleasing writing style, but the book is peppered with Mommie Dearest anecdotes that I could have done without. Maybe her own experiences with her mother are what made her so rigid about some aspects of crocheting, such as how to hold the hook. And, just to add a pet peeve of mine: Pattern instructions are set in italics, which are more difficult to read than straight type. As any publication designer worth her salt knows, italics should be used sparingly --certainly not for directions.

4.0étoiles sur 5 It taught me to crochet., Aoû 16 2003
Par Un client
I learned to knit in Ms. Righetti's "Knitting in Plain English". With that knowledge, even when some of her directions were hard to understand, I let common sense take over. I am dissappointed in her lessons at the end of the book. I felt they were very "dated" and "grandma-ish". Crocheting is so trendy and hip right now, I would have enjoyed patterns that were more modern. (Yes, I know this book was written in '88.) So, all in all this is a good reference book for crocheting. But I wouldn't recommend it for the patterns in the lesson chapters.
