Negative Positive
Title: Lots of hype
Review: I am going to return my copy. There are many mistakes in the patterns. If you buy this book, be sure to go to her website for the countless errata pages. Or just wait until a correct edition is published. The patterns are cute, but as another reviewer said, you can find similar patterns on the internet or in magazines for free. Although she created none of the patterns, she is seen modelling almost every one, with her leering face on practically every page.The history of crochet section is not original. In fact, much of it is a rehash of a truly great crochet book, "Encyclopedia of Crochet" by Donna Kooler.The instructions are confusing for a beginner and Ms. Stoller flatly refuses to acknowledge left handed people. She haughtily says that left-handers will just have to learn to do everything in the book backwards, "and I mean everything." Feh.
