Stoller's Stitch 'N Bitch and Stitch 'N Bitch Nation have become icons of
the knitting craze: every hip young needleworker has at least one of them
next to the yarn stash. Now, she uses the same approach that made her
knitting books so successful in this entree to sexed-up hookwork that
takes pains to show crocheting isn't for grandma anymore. Stoller provides
everything short of the hook and yarn a crafter will need to learn how
to crochet. From a history of the craft to mind-bogglingly complete
instructions and dozens of charted and explained patterns (the majority of
which are for women's clothing and accessories.there are no afghans here),
it's all presented in Stoller's bright, witty style and accompanied
by cheery color photographs. Beginners will like the easy construction of
the "Stripes (and Stripes) Forever Scarf," and intermediate crocheters
will enjoy whipping up a "Cupcake," a purple sweater confection.
Experienced crocheters have patterns here too, such as the astonishing lace
"Go For Baroque" sweater. This latest entry into the Stitch 'N Bitch canon
is sure to be another bestseller.
