Crochet for the cure! A heartfelt collection of 35 designs, this book offers hats, scarves, lapghans, slippers, a teddy bear, book bag, book mark and much, much more. Each design was thoughtfully inspired to help keep breast cancer awareness front and center. And, a portion of each book sold will be donated to breast cancer research being conducted at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center. The IU Cancer Center includes a 31-member research team with expertise in early detection, new treatment development, and prevention of breast cancer. The center collaborates with other elite programs nationally to translate science into solutions for patients. In Indiana, the center stands alone as the only cancer care program with expertise in both basic science and clinical research. Breast cancer patients have access to treatments available nowhere else in the world, with a cancer research program ranked as "outstanding" by the National Cancer Institute. This designation signifies that new research findings are being utilized to enhance quality and length of life for patients in Indiana and around the world. Skill level: Easy to Intermediate

I am excited about starting some of the projects in the book. It is great there are large projects and small projects for all skill levels. These are projects that can be shared with friends or donated to people who need to be cheered.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like feminine and pretty, look here..., April 6, 2009

This review is from: Think Pink: Crochet for the Cure (Annie's Attic: Crochet) (Paperback)

First of all, everything in here is very pretty. There are hats, neck scarves, shawls, booties, table runner, pillows, lap size aphgans and even bookmarkers & a fabric crocheted basket. As can be predicted, everything in here is pink. Most items have the pink ribbon design thrown in there as well. All look like they would be wonderful gifts whether they be pink or any other color you decide, whether it be for someone fighting cancer, or anyone on your gift list. I've been crocheting for a long time, and am happy to finally see some pretty hats and other beautiful items that I would feel proud to give as a gift to someone or make for myself. I've seen way too many crochet patterns that looked just bulky, ugly & juvenile. But you won't find that in this book. They are all pretty. UPDATE: I want to make everything in here! The "booties" were quick and easy to make (these are adult sized and look like a pair of big bulky socks....for lounging in, not walking around.) The "filet book bag" made from crochet cotton & has a pink ribbon design on the front also goes together really quickly. There are two nice sized shawls that I want to make next. The pink camo afghan keeps catching my eye, so I am out to look for that color of yarn this morning. Everything in here looks like something I want to make. Nice for oneself, and nice for gifts. There are varying degrees of difficulty which are listed with each pattern.

As an avid crocheter and a breast cancer survivor, this book really touched me personally. It has excellent patterns and short stories about the people who submitted them. I highly recommend this to any crocheter.
