Editorial Reviews

Review

Quick & Easy Crochet, November/December 2006

“Truly a gift book filled with stories for the legions of men and women who crochet.”

 

California BookWatch, November 2006

“Not the usual ‘how to crochet’ guide, but a survey of insights and stories revolving around crocheter experiences.”



Crochet World, April 2007

“This is truly a gift book filled with stories for the legions of men and women who crochet.”



Product Description
Some learned to crochet at a grandmother’s knee and now keep the faith. Others sought comfort in the craft during dark and troubling times. And still others found in crocheting a way of making something that perfectly expresses the artist inside.  Yet others, of course, needed a vest.  How people came to crocheting, what they’ve made of it, what memories it has added to their lives, and what moments of insight and simple pleasure it’s brought them—these are the stories told in Hooked: A Crocheter’s Stash of Wit and Wisdom.  A tribute to the age-old art, Hooked is embellished with charming illustrations from vintage pattern booklets. 
 
Among the contributors—with anecdotes ranging from the whimsical to the philosophical—are newcomers and those well known in crocheting circles from Lily Chin, Jennifer Hansen, Karen Searle, and Gwen Blakely Kinsler to Lela Nargi, Kay Dorn, Nilda Mesa, Deborah Robson, Annie Modesitt, and Linda Permann.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time!, October 2, 2006
By Crochet Lover (Cape Cod, MA USA) - See all my reviews
Finally! A book (not a book of patterns, but a reading book!) about crochet! Some publisher actually listened. Being a lifelong crocheter this book was refreshing, wonderful essays from women who were not biased towards the art of crochet. A quick read but worth every penny. Hookers Unite!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked on "Hooked.", January 4, 2007
I bought this book because I am mentioned in it by one of the essay writers --- one of my crochet students. When I began to read the other essays, I was even more pleased to have the collection. It's really a nice little book to pick up and read as time permits.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Read..., January 3, 2007
By Jean Leinhauser "Rapid Reader" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Crocheters tell what the craft means to them. Interesting because I know some of the writers, but note that
it has no patterns or instructional material. Title might imply that it contains tips, but it is really simply
essays. Not sensational.
