Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Stoller's Stitch 'N Bitch and Stitch 'N Bitch Nation have become icons of the knitting craze: every hip young needleworker has at least one of them next to the yarn stash. Now, she uses the same approach that made her knitting books so successful in this entrée to sexed-up hookwork that takes pains to show crocheting isn't for grandma anymore. Stoller provides everything short of the hook and yarn a crafter will need to learn how to crochet. From a history of the craft to mind-bogglingly complete instructions and dozens of charted and explained patterns (the majority of which are for women's clothing and accessories-there are no afghans here), it's all presented in Stoller's bright, witty style and accompanied by cheery color photographs. Beginners will like the easy construction of the "Stripes (and Stripes) Forever Scarf," and intermediate crocheters will enjoy whipping up a "Cupcake," a purple sweater confection. Experienced crocheters have patterns here too, such as the astonishing lace "Go For Baroque" sweater. This latest entry into the Stitch 'N Bitch canon is sure to be another bestseller.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, funny...but beware of the count mistakes, Jul 31 2006

By	Kim Bergeron "turbo_kim" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book like many to teach myself how to crochet. It is written with humour and cleverness. The graphics are clear and very helpful for beginners. The patterns are also fun and moder. However, as much interesting this book is in comparison to old granny-like crochet learning techniques, the patterns are often wrong... The patterns counts are not as they should be do be carefull if you are a very beginner and wondering why you can't get your project finished (or started in some cases)it might just be because, what is indicated is actually impossible to make!
Most notably the "Sweat Peas" chale and the bed fellows have errors in them.

I still would recommend the book, but you better be a clever learner or have an expert crocheter in your entourage!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Instructions, Nov 29 2007

By	M. McDonald (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Since when I began to crochet, I learned from a friend, I never knew all the proper terminology that many of the crochet patterns use. I love this book for a number of reasons. Firstly, the book shows you in detail how to do all the different crochet stiches. Secondly, there is a chart in the book that lists all the abbrevations used in patterns and then tells you what each abbrevation means. And lastly, there are so many different patterns in the book. Some patterns I really like, others not so much, but I think the patterns would appeal to a large number of people!

5.0 out of 5 stars I have many, many, many pattern books, and have
generally become jaded with them over the years, especially with the last couple of years. Many so-called new pattern books often have designs which have been recycled, or are... Read more
