Book Reviews of Crocheting For Dummies (For Dummies (Sports & Hobbies))

Book Review: Not for beginners
Summary: 2 Stars

The first books for dummies were great so I bought this book without any hesitation. The author is knowledgeable about the topic, but lacks the gift of explanation for beginners. I have since found the book Not your mama's crochet and am much happier with it. While I like the projects in the dummies book better, the explanation and pictures are better in the "not your mama's" book.
