The hottest thing to hit crochet,

This review is from: Crochet Liberation Front First Ever Book (Paperback)
This is a really awesome book with projects for all skill levels! There is amazing variety in patterns from fingerless gloves, scarves, bags, and clothing to key chains and cat toys. The book is also interjected with helpful hints and funny stories. There are 36 patterns and 13 articles that end up providing something for everyone. You can learn why swatching is important and how to play the freeform game. This is the hottest new book to hit the world of crochet in years.

5.0 out of 5 stars
awesome designs, clear layout,
This review is from: Crochet Liberation Front First Ever Book (Paperback)
The big reason to buy this book is because of the patterns. The pictures are sharp, the instructions clear, and they are easy to read on the page. They come from all over the world and there's probably things you don't know that this book will teach you.
But there is much more to the book in essays and personal stories, and those are by turns touching and funny. They are good reading. You have never seen a book like this one before because there has never been a book like this one before. I imagine that the flying pig on the cover comes from when someone said, "there will be a book that good when pigs fly." Here it is. Thank you Crochet Liberation Front! P.S. The flying pig also indicates a certain attitude! P.P.S. The real cover is pretty, not ugly like the one shown here. For starters there's no big black rectangle.

not your grandma's crochet book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crochet Liberation Front First Ever Book (Paperback)
I love this book! I have to say that though I'm no expert (I own my fair share of crochet pattern books, stitch dictionaries, techniques, etc) this book is the best I've seen in clarity, descriptions, & extras (personal stories, thoughts, how-tos). I wish every publisher would take pointers from what was done with this book!
The patterns are unique, interesting & different - in a good way. I love the variety & fresh look at a craft I love. Kudos to those who submitted their designs or thoughts to the book. I can't wait for the next one!
