I bought Crocheting for Dummies a few weeks ago in an attempt to teach myself to crochet. I thought that since I had a tiny bit of experience with crocheting that this would just refresh my memory. I was wrong. I think, for me at least, crocheting is something you have to see in order to do. The book seems user friendly, but I still could not do what I had hoped.
I THINK ALL THE "FOR DUMMIES" BOOKS ARE PRETTY WELL DONE. THEY USE HUMOR TO HOLD YOUR ATTENTION. THIS BOOK IS ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR BEGINNERS I THINK. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS AWHILE BUT I ALSO READ SOME TIPS AND IDEAS I HADN'T THOUGHT OF OR HAD THOUGHT OF IN A DIFFERENT WAY. I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GOOD IDEAS. THIS BOOK HAS SOME.
This book is very good, I refer to it a lot, it tells you how to read patterns, select hooks and yarns, increase & decrease,crochet in circles and squares, fix your mistakes and assemble a finished project. and more I would say that it is a very good book to have in your library. I bought it because I am starting to crochet again, and I certainly needed a refresher course It is written in plain English and easy to understand Thank You
I learned a little over a year ago how to crochet. I just couldn't seem to get the pattern reading down pat. So I purchased this book for some help and thus far it has helped me. I look forward to make some beautiful things.
Thanks for the rapid shipment and the condition of the book was great. I thought I was getting a used book and it looks brand new. Thanks again, joe2jey
This is a great book for those beginning, as well as those who haven't picked up a crochet hook since they were in grade school. The directions are very clear and easy to follow. Much better than any other teach yourself booklets on crocheting, and I got a great deal on e-bay! Any trouble I have had was my own error (accidentally skipping paragraphs). I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn to crochet.
I bought this book especially for my mother, she always says she would like to learn to crochet. So I saw this book "Crocheting for Dummies" and I assume it was mostly for beginners. I bought it and gave it to my mother and she has learned alot. She has made coasters, placemates and now she is making a blanket. She also wants to make a shawl. I really recomend this book especialy for beginners. She really likes the book alot.
I bought this for my mother because she asked me to and she doesn't have an Ebay account. She said it's helpful and full of good advice but I can't really comment because I haven't even seen the book in person.
I finally found a book that can teach me to crochet! Every book I've tried before now has just been confusing, but this book was really helpful. The pictures and the step by step instructions that go along with them are great. If you are a visual learner, this book will really help you.
this book covers everything you want to know about crocheting, it is great, i refer to it often. i was having problens with binding off and reading patterns and this covers it all.
