Book Reviews of The Crochet Answer Book: Solutions to Every Problem You'll Ever Face; Answers to Every Question You'll Ever Ask (Answer Book (Storey))

Book Review: Best resource for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my first time writing an Amazon review, as I have never been that moved by a product to take the time to write one. The Crochet Answer Book is a different story! This tiny book is the BEST resource I have found to learn crochet.

I have been attempting to learn how to crochet for the past year, using a variety of books and online videos. At the end of every attempt I felt discouraged and lost because it didn't seem like any book was answering all of the questions I had. Last week I decided to pick this up at my library in a last ditch attempt to learn crochet, and after 15 minutes with the book, things were making more sense than they ever had in the past years worth of books and videos!

Although this book is small, the descriptions of how to do each stitch are incredibly thorough, with great illustrations that I can actually compare my own work to. This is the only book I have found that describes how to do each stitch into the foundation chain, and into an established row, which was one of my main questions. It also answered all my questions about which stitch to start with, and how to turn my work, which most books just breeze right over. I am so impressed by this book, and it has finally made learning crochet possible for me!

Summary of The Crochet Answer Book: Solutions to Every Problem You'll Ever Face; Answers to Every Question You'll Ever Ask (Answer Book (Storey))

Wouldn't it boost your confidence to have an experienced and confident crocheter on call, day and night, offering assistance when needed? Most of us aren't fortunate enough to have that kind of aid, but now there is help available 24/7 with The Crochet Answer Book.

Being a "good" crocheter is not about making perfectly stitched, elaborate, artful creations. It is rather a matter of confidence. You need to be confident in what you are doing and in how to figure out what to do if things aren't going quite right. Understanding why you do certain things and why they turn out the way they do increases confidence and leads to successful crocheting.

This book answers some of the most common questions crocheters have, and anticipates some questions you didn't know you had. The Crochet Answer Book will lead you down the road to gaining the confidence that makes for good crocheting.
