Review Quotes

"[C]rochet books this detailed are few and far between, and beginning crocheters who are visual learners will appreciate the straightforward directions and the pairing of techniques with projects." - Library Journal

"It might be true that there's nothing new under the sun...that isn't to say the old can't be reimagined and reapplied in a modern context. And that's what we see in Crochet." - Columbia Daily Tribune
