Book Description

Quarry Book March 1, 2006
Crocheting is the new knitting and no doubt, hot designer Katherine Lee is spurring the trend. The percentage of women under the age of 45 who know how to knit and crochet has doubled in the past six years. Retailers and the media are jumping on the bandwagon, too, by energizing many women who have not knitted or crocheted for years. It's a hip, calming pastime to our hectic busy lifestyles.

Unfortunately, the crochet patterns on the market are not necessarily in tune with today's young crocheter. That's why this book is a must-have for any enthusiast. SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet provide this expanding market of crocheters with twenty fresh and fashionable designs from Lee, a top pattern designer and instructor.

These are not your boring old granny sweaters. These patterns are for beautiful, lacy, feminine, sweaters, camisoles, hats, belts, tanks, handbags, and scarves. Fun-to-make, and stylish to wear, these contemporary projects will appeal to crafters of every skill level.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can tell this book was "designed" by a crocheter!, March 17, 2006
This review is from: SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous and Flirty Crochet: Gorgeous Sweater and Accessory Patterns from Los Angeles' Top Crochet Designer (Quarry Book) (Spiral-bound)
I do so appreciate SweaterBabe's Fab & Flirty book. There are beautiful patterns organized in the beginning pages by difficulty...find your page and go right to your level! The patterns are fun and wearable..some chunky yarn, some lightweight yarn...they'll take you from summer to winter.
I also like the fact the the yarn is first listed in the "type" of yarn eg. lightweight cotton blend, and then the specific yarn so that the crocheter can shop their local stores for yarns if the specific yarn is not available.
I truly appreciate the spiral pages..I can read the pattern, look at the picture and everything lays flat...wonderful!
A few of my favs (meaning patterns I'll put on my "to-do"list: The flirty skirt, the flutter sleeve top, the Macrame Belt (uses the bullion stitch to make the Macrame look) and the Evening scarf.

5.0 out of 5 stars GET THIS BOOK!!!, April 5, 2006
This review is from: SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous and Flirty Crochet: Gorgeous Sweater and Accessory Patterns from Los Angeles' Top Crochet Designer (Quarry Book) (Spiral-bound)
This is how crochet should be! The beauty of crochet is in the amazing range of textures possible, although most books seem to just feature single stitch boxy sweaters. Not this one! All of the projects are gorgeous! The book includes a wide range of fashion items: flirty but modest tanks, a yummy mesh wrap cardigan, a tonal purse with tortoise handles that I can't wait to make, awesome scarves, hats, sweaters, even a pair of booties! And each one is beautifully textured and the instructions are clear with full-color photos. The patterns are very modern, yet classically styled to wear for years to come.
I am so happy I have this book, the only problem is which one to do first!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very sexy patterns, September 9, 2006
This review is from: SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous and Flirty Crochet: Gorgeous Sweater and Accessory Patterns from Los Angeles' Top Crochet Designer (Quarry Book) (Spiral-bound)
I ordered another used book off of amazon, and the seller accidentally shipped me this book instead. So I decided to make the most of my time with my misplaced book and write a review of it, especially since because I'm a guy, and it's not the kind of book I'd ever buy on my own.

Well, the patterns in this book are definately sexy. I would recommend that if you buy this book you make: Morrocan Slippers, Shawl-Collared Wrap Cardigan, Macrame Belt, Flirty Skirt, Chunky Flower Hat, Bold Laced Cardigan, and Textured Cloche Hat. Make them in that order. They're listed in order of sexiness. Unless you're a beginner, and then make the hats first, because they're the easiest.

And, the cool thing about this book is that they would be sexy whether you're making something cool for your kids, or if you're a great grandmother, and you're making them for yourself.

And, I don't know anything about crocheting, but it seems like it gives a lot of good educational information about the art of crochet and it also has all of the complicated stuff that you who know crochet would know but that I wouldn't.

I hope you enjoy the book.
