Book Reviews of From Needles to Hook: Complete Guide to Converting Knit Patterns to Crochet
Book Review: Redemption
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit the reviews that were written on this book caused me to hesitate. I was determined to purchase this book, but after reading the reviews, I had serious second thoughts. But I went ahead and purchased it as I needed the book to get the free shipping on my order.
Upon receiving the book, I expected the worse.
But the Reviews ARE WRONG! This is an excellent book. One that is easy to follow and read.
It has clear precise instructions on the pitfalls and difficulties of converting knit patterns to crochet patterns. It is well organized.
The Reader has to want to do the conversions and be determined. But that is not the fault of the author. There is advice and helpful suggestions throughout the book.
The yarn substitution section was an eyeopener for me.
Yes, the book does give a knit pattern and finds a similar look in crochet. And in the front part of the book and before each chapter it explains how to convert each pattern and the unique issues with them.
I fully recommend this book to any one who loves knit pattern and feel but hates to knit(or refuses to learn - like myself). Being a man, and having a hard time finding manly sweater patterns for my very bulky size in crochet, this book provides me with a whole new avenue of options.
Yes, I have to work to make those options a reality. But this book gives me what it promises and that is the tools and knowledge I need to succeed in doing so.
