5-0 out of 5 stars Felted Crochet
Easy to follow instructions.Complete instructions for felting by machine and by hand.I have had the book for 2 weeks and have made 3 items with total success. Thanks for a fine pattern and insturction book.

4-0 out of 5 stars Variety of crochet projects
I bought this book for mainly one project and then was pleasantly surprised with the variety of projects.Great accessories, baby items, household items etc.NOTE:Unfortunately the one project I was interested in had a whole section of instruction omitted.

3-0 out of 5 stars incomplete directions
While the projects in the book may be nice and there is a pleasing variety, I was very disappointed when I went to crochet my first project and the instructions were incomplete.The leaf embroidered tassel bags has directions for the front and back but none to be found for the strap. It mentions attaching the straps but no directions on how to make.Also due to a very obvious typo with the project mesurements it is almost impossible to guess the strap instructions. Per the book the strap on the bag before felting is 25" and AFTER feltingwhich should shrink the project the strap grows to 35".

5-0 out of 5 stars So Funny!
I remember some of these patterns!This one will make you thankful for the "tasteful" designs of today.I use this in my knitting and crochet classes - just to illustrate what we WON'T be making!Stitchy's great sense of humor just rolls off the page - I made the mistake of reading it while getting my toenails painted - I was asked to stop reading because I was laughing so hard!Yes, there are no patterns (except for two "tastefully tacky" designs in the back) - the point is - we want to put a stop to this insanity!

5-0 out of 5 stars The Perfect InterSTITCHial
Wouldn't it be the cat's pajamas to be able to mend your threadbare spirits inside those mini-moments between those long darn stretches of your stressful day?This book will do it.Without a word wasted, Stitchy McYarnpants will knit you a new one in no time.Each page presents photographic evidence of some disastrous pairing of good ol' 70s acrylic yarn and criminally depraved creativity.The photos alone will throw you into fits of laughter.The commentary will cause you to lose any control of bodily function.Wear a diaper!

5-0 out of 5 stars Laughter and knitting - the best medicines
Laughed out loud so often my husband asked what was so funny.Showed him the book and he even laughed out loud.Clever, witty, funny, campy and fun.Leave this book out for friends to thumb through and get a giggle - knitters or non.This book is FUN! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars great projects
I just got this book and can't wait to start on my first project.There are hats, scarves, tank tops with matching cardigans.This book is full of items that both my teenager or I could wear.

4-0 out of 5 stars Very good crochet book!
This has a good basic t-shirt and tank top pattern. There is a sexy camisole top, a halter top and a half-tank/sexy top, some hats and a couple bags I like. Ordinary patterns fill the rest of the book; scarves, afghans, some ugly hats and a horrible purse, some doilies, kids' clothes, a hipster scarf that looks like a shawl and a headband. This is worth the $$ for the good patterns! Sizes go from small to large, yarn weights are listed and instructions/photos are great!

5-0 out of 5 stars something new in a day
Crocheting is having a fashion revival and this book helps show why. M's Weiss keeps the projects simple but interesting, easy enough for the beginners and something fast for the experienced crocheters. Want a new bag to take to the beach tomorrow? or how about a halter top? THis book shows you how to make these items and a lot more.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great Book!
Really nice CROCHET patterns for a change! The instructions are clear and the diagrams are very helpful. I especially like that the pictures show the item as it's being used not draped overe a chair.My daughter is 19 and the garments are more geared to her taste (and size).She has 3 projects lined up for me already.The only slightly negative comment is that the lovely yarns used are usually only found in specialty yarn shops or online and they are a bit pricy.I'm not new to crochet so I'll be able to find subs but a beginner might have a little trouble.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best beginner book!
I just started crocheting this year, and puchased a number of books.This one turned out to be the best beginner book of all of them.There are some patterns that I'm not ready to make, but the ones I did make were very easy to understand, and turned out quite well.I recently read something on the author, Candi Jensen, and she said that she had written it for the beginner.It shows!Fun, fresh and varried, her patterns are fun to do, easy to modify and make your own, and make a gift-quality product with little or no experience.I highly recommend it.

5-0 out of 5 stars very useful
When I first got this book, I thought ho-hum just another one for the new crocheter. But on further looks I find several projects this jaded crocheter wants to make such as that skirt. I also like the granny square scarf (one can't have too many of those), and the little bikini comes with a schematic which most bikini patterns don't bother with (such as in Leapman's cool crochet). I do think the eyeglass case needs a lining as otherwise the frame is going to get caught in the stitches. In short of the 20 projects quite a few are on my to-make list so it is highly recommended. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Was she in the dark when she picked the colors?
I know, I know...to each his/her own. but I'd really like to buy Ms Jensen a color wheel for Christmas.
3-0 out of 5 stars Single Crochet
The color suggestions are nice, and the babies are adorable.But it's mostly single crochet with little pattern variation.If you can adapt patterns, it makes a good reference book, as all the schematics are included.
5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, easy-to-crochet clothing for babies
I have to say that the baby on the front cover sold this book to me.How can you resist those eyes?And I'm glad because if I hadn't bought it -- I'm a knitter, not a crocheter -- I'd have missed out on some wonderful, adorable baby clothes.My niece is due any day now, and I've been whipping up ponchos and silly hats, and booties like a mad person.These patterns are remarkably easy, and have a kind of goofy charm that just works with babies.

5-0 out of 5 stars ONE OF VOGUES BEST
AS A SHAWL KNITTER, I FOUND THIS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST SHAWL BOOKS EVER.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good collection
Good selection of different patterns - only a couple I would make for myself, but interesting designs.

3-0 out of 5 stars Editors were asleep
The patterns are varied, ranging from difficult to easy.I enjoyed flipping through and getting ideas from this book.However, when I was trying to match my stash to the shawl patterns I noticed that several of the patterns do not specify how many skeins are needed.The format is generally [number of balls] of [type of yarn].For the type of yarn, they specify the weight and yardage for the individual ball, but not the total yardage for the entire project.So without the number of skeins needed, it is a wild guess for the knitter.With missing something as basic as this, it makes me worry about all the instructions.Definitely a rush to press here, wait for the next edition. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A "Knit it all-book"
The book just arrived today. Staying for lazy days in our summer house by the Sognefiord (Norway), I could read the book at once. I know that I am going to knit ALL the patterns in this book, just as I have done with the patterns in the other books in the small Vogue Knitting-books. My small grandchildren liked the Tea Cosy on front page with all the nice buttons. They thought it was a hat. Of course I can knit hats like that. I have started to sort out the wool yarn in my stash and will start tomorrow.

5-0 out of 5 stars a keeper!
As a life long knitter and spinner, I'm always on the lookout for the new and unusual, but am very particular about what I actually buy. Vogue's little felting book is a winner. Clear directions, creative ideas, and a new look for my knitting projects - what could be better. Highly recommended for the crafter who wants to take it up a level.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Fun, Very Vogue!
Just what you would expect from Vogue - like all the other little hardback Vogue 'Knitting on the Go' books. Lots of dreamy project ideas that look just a little more stylish, a little more unique than the standard patterns out there. I own an embarrassing number of knitting books (I could never knit something from all of them!) but time and again I go back to the 'Vogue Knitting on the Go' books for a quick gift, a fun pick-me-up or in-between project, or sometimes just to remind myself why we knit. ...

Many, many great ideas for any type of items you can imagine. I'm making a shawl right now with a crochet pattern I found in the book.

I have made both a scarf and a lacy shawl from this book, and enjoyed both patterns.I also really enjoy pulling this book from the shelf and looking at the different patterns.
1-0 out of 5 stars Misleading subtitle
The title of this book reads, "Scarf Style: Innovative to Traditional, 31 Inspirational Styles to Knit and Crochet".I assumed from this that there would be roughly equal numbers of knit and crochet patterns, or possibly a slightly skewed ratio like 20 of one and ten of the other.Imagine my disappointment that only three of the patterns are for crochet; the other 28 are knitted.I am glad I checked it out from the library to try before buying it, because it is not what I expected.
4-0 out of 5 stars easy to follow patterns
i love how this book doesn't focus on just the yarn that was used in the picture.it gives you yarn dimensions so you don't have to limit yourself.

5-0 out of 5 stars Interweave Press Books Corrections on the Web
After reading the reviews, I hesitated to buy this book.I was concerned about the errors people talked about.So, I got it from my local library.Then (why I didn't look before) I realized it was an Interweave Press book.That made up my mind - one of the HUGE benefits of every Interweave Press book is that they carry Corrections to any/every book that they print on their web site.It's phenomenal.While we might say that there shouldn't be errors, there are in every book unfortunately.But, the benefit of Interweave books is that they do something about it.Check out their web site, click on Crochet Books on the left hand side, and then click on Corrections.Click on this book's name, and you'll find all the corrections - complete with highlighting of the part being corrected.I simply love Interweave Books, and I love them all the more for this feature.

3-0 out of 5 stars Many errors in book
It's worth the money to see the beautiful color schemes; however, there are many errors in the patterns. I am not sure if they are typos or merely the result of not being proofread before press.

4-0 out of 5 stars a little lost
I love the idea of this book, all the different options are wonderful, but the instructions are a little hard to follow if your a beginner.I think diagrams would have been very helpful, than it would have been a five star book. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars clear patterns, well explained
good companion. like the clear graphics and explanations to do things the right way when you are a begginer. do not like the fold page of the book, but just a minor thing.

4-0 out of 5 stars I like this little book.....
Although this jam-packed little volume is small enough to slip in your knitting/crochet basket, it holds enough information to rival larger books.Practical tools and suggestions fill the book as well as illustrations that are easy to understand (for me and I've been crocheting a long time).In case you forget the difference between the double crochet and the half-double crochet, the book includes example of those and other basic stitches as well as more ornate procedures such as making a popcorn stitch.One set of pages covers making Granny squares including `Granny square triangles' and other forms of the popular pattern.The book is printed in black and white and may not appeal to those who are color dependent.The pages are heavy with clear plastic surfaces which makes them easy to clean and long wearing, but hard to flip through if you are looking for something specific. I find THE CROCHETER'S COMPANION useful for travel, but have better books for home use.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference guide for newbies and oldies alike!
I purchased this neat little guide when I was first learning crochet.Very convenient little book!No messing with those big books trying to keep the page open, holding your yarn etc.. etc.. I recommend getting this guide.. great for travelers~! ... Read more

I enjoy intricate crochet work, that's a challenge, takes time and looks like a piece of art at the end.The picture of the scarve on the front is what got my attention.I ordered this book and was a bit disappointed with the patterns inside.Some of the scarves in this book is very plain.I must say the majority could be spiced up a little by substituting the yarn color.There are a couple of very unique scarves in here, and that makes this book worth buying.What bothers me the most is the yarn - I usually buy my yarn at Joann's, Michael's or WalMart.The yarns called for in these patterns are exotic names I've never heard of before, for example "Le Fibre Nobili", "Filatura di Crosa", "Muench Yarns" to name a few.I have never seen these before where I usually buy yarn (maybe I missed it - if I did, I apologize).

5-0 out of 5 stars Delivers Exactly What it Promises
This is by far, the most comprehensive and inspiring collection of scarves I have seen thus far (but there is a second collection being published in October 2006, so hopefully that will be just as good)!
4-0 out of 5 stars Unique and Beautiful Patterns
I found this book on an Amazon list of "must have crochet books" and after making several of the patterns I agree. These patterns are among my very favorite!However, beginners beware, of the 25 patterns 12 are intermediate, 6 experienced, 4 easy/novice, and only 3 are beginner.There are no step by step pictures or stitch close ups.Just a beautiful shot of the finished product for reference.While the book does have a basics chapter, it is brief so more space can be dedicated to the patterns.By the way, the page on yarn substitution I found particularly useful since many of the pattern yarns are expensive.That said, if you have crocheted for a while and want a unique set of patterns, buy this book! The directions are well written and I found them easy to follow.Every time I work on one of these patterns I get numerous compliments and requests for the book title and author. My copy of the book is starting to fall apart! And one more thing, if you are looking for quick projects this book is also not for you.Many of the patterns require a good amount of time to join pieces together or deal with details.However, the results are well worth the time invested. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Lily Takes the Mystery Out of Bead Knitting
Who else but Lily could do it? I have knitted beaded purses on 0000 needles, but never considered knitting a beaded garment until reading this book. Lily explaind every way that it can be done in clear and precise language, with excellent pictures and charts. The patterns are glorious! Patterns for sweaters and shawls and really beautiful items that are truly one of a kind. And not knit on itty bitty needles either. You don't don't need a magnifying glass to knit these beauties! I am working on the Vargas Girl Sweater in pale blue Rowan cashmere with gold and copper beads, a large investment, but the results are gorgeous!! This book is a must have for the truly glamorous knitter!

5-0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Designs and Outstanding Instructions
Inspiring and instructive. As always, Lily's instructions are clear and easy to follow, even for techniques that are new and a little different. The projects are stunning and quite "finish-able." And Lily's "signature" sense of humor keeps you company while you create and learn. A winner. ... Read more
