    <body><![CDATA[By the power of Grayskull, I WILL learn to hook!  For some reason, I cannot figure out how to start the second row.  I need to check out what Stoller has online.  The directions for starting the first row were excellent, but I must be missing something because I cannot get row two started.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Some really cute stuff--though I wish they had more filet crochet or projects using thread for finer work. But I made the mohair capelet--WONDERFUL! So fabulous. Too fabulous--dont' know if I'll ever wear it but I LOVE to open my knitting trunk and see it in there smiling at me.]]></body>

It was all thanks to this book.<br/><br/>I have now learned to master single, double, and triple crochet stitches (the basics), crocheting a flat circle, the puffy stitch, grannie squares, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19376753">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The Stitch and Bitch series are wonderful!  The books take you step by step and are very simple to follow.  I already knew how to crochet, but still was able to pick up a few pointers!  I'm reading it right now because I am making a blanket for my mom.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A really good refresher on Crochet.  My mom taught me simple chains and how to make scarves, but this book allowed me to get really creative.  As always, Stoller's writing style and visual references are fresh and vibrant, not dull and boring.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Taking a bit of a break from dense fantastic other worlds.  It was a library borrow, although I'm debating about buying it.  I liked the fresh feel, but if even a noob like me can find errors, I'm not sure how much I trust the patterns.]]></body>
