1: I love this book!
A friend bought this book for me for my Birthday as a joke.
I don't know if she thought it would be a funny book to see on my book shelf or what.
I really have only made a few things from the book, since I would consider my self to be a beginner.
So far everything that I have made everyone has loved and wanted me to make one for them too.
So, I just find myself making the same things over and over and over again.

2: What good is a pattern book, when the patterns are all wrong?
There are some great patterns in this book... but SO many of them are wrong, mis-printed, and have errors! Some of the illustrations are wrong too.
There are tons of updates on their website for the "correct" patterns (they call them erratas) - but what a pain to have to cross things out and re-write them. Isn't that the point of buying a pattern book, so that you have an easy reference?
I purchased as a gift for my sister who is learning to crochet. The first half of the book is written for the beginner, with detailed instructions. She was so frustrated, after spending hours on a project, only to find it wasn't working. (it was after investigation I found the erratas)
This book is headed for the recycle bin

3: Happy Aussie hooker!
The patterns are cute and fun - I had a bit of strife translating US crochet terms into Aussie ones at first, but I'm all good now! Planning to buy more of your books and also to stock them in the shop. :-)

4: Crochet book
Great book with modern easy to follow patterns. I originally got it for the long crochet jacket pattern but love the other designs as well.

5: I dont know how she did it!
I have tried, over and over and OVER again to learn how to crochet,off and on for over a year. I was starting to give up,then along came this amazing book, the answer to all of my crocheting prayers.
I had picked up Ms. Stollers Stitch n' Bitch book earlier, in an attempt to re-introduce myself to hand knitting, and it had gone so well, that I didn't think twice before plunking down my money for this book.
It took me less than a day to get through the basics.
The instructions seem a bit funky at first, each lesson takes a couple of read-thoughs before you can make sense of what you need to do, but trust me, the instructions will click!
Although it may help to have your boyfriend on the phone cheering you on. ^^
Give this book a shot, it's nice and thick, with great glossy pics and lots of random splashes of color. Full of puns, and just a general joy to read. I will be buying more for several ladies in my family.
