Review by Library Journal Review

These two volumes are good teach-yourself manuals that cover the basics of crocheting and knitting without including more information than can be comfortably absorbed by a newbie. They feature color illustrations and clear, step-by-step instructions for a variety of projects. Crochet includes projects for small items such as scarves, pillows, and cell phone as well as more ambitious projects like a lacy shrug. Knitting features projects like the Feed Bag alternative to the brown paper bag for carrying lunch and a half-square triangular lace shawl. Recommended for public libraries. (c) Copyright 2010.
