Title: Not for a "Newbie"...
Product review: Although I love the projects in this book, and the photography is fantastic, the title and description would lead one to believe that this is a good book from which to learn crochet. I believe this was the intent of the author, but it falls short in a few areas. First, the beginning steps are explained too briefly, and leave a lot of things out. Secondly, the descriptions of the stitches are written assuming that the reader already has a basic knowledge of crochet, using terms that do not make much sense to a first time crocheter, (and with tons of typos!) ei. "Inserting you hook into the ring, work as many stitches into the ring as your instructions tell you." Fine for a seasoned crocheter, but a bit confusing when working stitches into a ring has never been explained!I would give this book a 4 or 5-star rating for someone who has at least basic knowledge of crochet, but for the newbie, I'd give it a 2.
