I received this book for Christmas, and so far I love it. The instructions are so simple and well laid out, anyone can follow them. This book teaches a very basic crochet stitch and later, you use the spool included with the book to makes any type of jewelery you want to. I recommend this book for teens and crafty 'tweens'. This is also fun on long car trips... trust me, I've tested. :)

My 9-year old daughter absolutely loves this. The instructions were easy enough that she learned to spool knit by herself. She has made beautiful rings, bracelets, and choker necklaces as gifts for friends and family.

Amazon offers this at a great price; I've seen it in several stores for $20. If your daughter enjoys making jewelry, this is one of the best; it's much more fun and challenging than the usual "bead stringing" jewelry crafts.

I think this is a great book, I think it's worth every penny. Although one might become tired with the bead inserts and the struggling to properly handle the spool while at work, I think it's not really the book's fault, so I can't say I've got any complaints about that. As far as the quality and selection criteria for the materials provided along with the book, I think they're rather satisfactory. The book pages themselves are fun to read and look at, from ingenous drawings of every existent step to making each piece to pictures of how the bracelets and rings will look like in the end. Overall, I don't think I have complaints about this instructing book, and i exhort all those interested to buy it.

My daughter and I love this book. The instructions are very easy to follow, and the pictures in the book are great. The projects are easy and fun, and the resulting jewelry is very nice looking. There are enough beads and string to do lots of projects. The kit includes everything you will need to do the projects, except scissors. This book would be great for a younger child or a teenager.

Took this for family members in Germany and they loved it. All the girls were busy for hours making jewelry for each other. Plenty of things to make.

This was my 8-year-old daughter's first exposure to knitting. The spool that came with the kit makes it easy for her to start knitting & gave her confidence in making fun knitted things. The beads made great embellishments. My daughter & her cousin love this product.

A fun thing to show the grandkids. I used to do that with a thread spool, nails and yarn! It is a fun book...for young or old.

I love this book because it has easy to follow instructions and it is very interesting.

I bought this kit in middle school. Two of the hair ties that I made have lasted me to this day and are the sturdiest I have ever had. The plastic on the spool never chipped no matter how many times I dropped it and the beads are very pretty. The crochet hook was a great inclusion: my fingers would have become very sore without it. I definitely recommend this to any crafty gal.

This product is pretty good. When I got it, everything was here, and I was very eager to start making things. The book has instructions on how to crochet before learning to knit with the spool. There are tips on how to tie ends together, seal ends (you use nail polish to keep the ends from fraying), and a couple others. Then it shows how to knit with the spool, and has different patterns you can try with the many different colors of string and beads it provides. It doesn't have enough string to make many bracelets with the 4-spoke stitch, which was a disappointment to me. It was very hard to choose which string to use with the certain colors of beads. 8) All in all, it's a (as I've said before) pretty good kit. 8)
