I bought this book after checking out the first "Get Hooked" from the library, and really liking it. This book is just as good! The book is geared towards teenagers, but even as an thirtysomething woman, I still really liked it. I already know how to crochet, so I didn't need the learn to crochet instructions at the front of the book, but they seem like they would be easy to learn from, especially since they show photos of hands performing the stitches, rather than the black and white line drawings so many other books use. The patterns are very cute, and the directions are very easy to follow. All of the patterns are written without abbreviations, which would be helpful for beginning crocheters. There were quite a few items I would like to make for either myself for my 10 year old daughter. The patterns are:Autumn Striped ScarfChunky Hat (shown on cover)Shelter Your Shades CaseLacy ChokerHook RollCrochet-Anywhere ToteGidget Bucket HatWorkin' For You ScarfFingerless Street MittsJuliet VestCamo BagFlower Power PillowRuby SlippersPeek-A-Boo ShrugHonor Roll VestTwo other things I really liked about this book is that most of the projects use inexpensive yarns that are available at mainstream craft stores, Walmart, etc. (instead of $15+ a skein yarns that only specialty yarn shops carry), and each patterns lists the exact yardage of yarn used, rather than just saying "3 skeins of Yarn A". I find that helpful for determing if that partial skein of yarn in my stash would be enough for a project.Overall, I feel this book was well worth the price, and highly recommend it!
Okay, so for my birthday last year I recieved Get Hooked. I absoulutely LOVED it and for a while that was my favorite crochet book. Then, for Christmas, I received Get Hooked Again. And, wow, did my opinion change! This book has great projects, all cute, funky, and (for the most part) easy. I made the Hook Roll for my friend and she started screaming. I am also working on one for myself, and I have just started making the Crochet Anywhere-Tote (I think that's what it's called...) And, no, that is not as far as I have gone. I asl have the yarn for the Peek-a-Boo shrug, which is absoulutely ADORABLE! I love it soooo much, and it just so happens my favorite color is green. (Maybe that's why I love it so much...) Anyway, if you buy it you won't be dissapointed!
I'm fairly new to crochet. Before getting this book, I knew how to chain, single crochet, and work in the round... and that was about it. Lucky for me, this book features some easy, step-by-step instructions on working some of the more complex stitches like half double crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet.The patterns in this book are a lot more interesting than those in Get Hooked. I bought both books, but I didn't find much I wanted to make in the first one. Get Hooked Again has a lot of cute patterns, though, and I've tried a few. One benefit to this second book is that it lets you substitute yarns; this is a good feature if you can't find the specific recommended yarn.I've made three projects from the book so far. The first was the Chunky Hat. Despite checking my gauge, I ended up with a tiny little hat (even after adding another row). It's too small for my head. I'll have to try again with a bigger hook. My second project was the Workin' For You Scarf. It turned out quite nicely, but I was confused by one of the instructions where it told you to work a stitch into the top of the turning chain. I wasn't sure exactly where to put my hook, and there were no pictures to help. The third project I attempted was the Ruby Slippers. I made the medium, and they're way too small (I don't have big feet). They're also rather square, which you can't really see from the photos in the book. I gave up after trying to slip stitch around the edge of the first slipper; that just tightened everything even more and made it smaller!All of the problems I encountered are probably easily fixable... if you know what you're doing. As a beginner, though, I'm hesitant to fiddle around with the patterns for fear I'll end up with even more of a mess. So, while the patterns in this book are cute and a bit more stylish than a lot of crochet, I'm wary of trying any of the others... especially with pricier yarns.
This is a great book. I really don't see how you can't do the projects in this book once you practice all the basic stitches. I was able to complete 4 projects in this book. I became so hooked I looked for more patterns online such as crochet geek on youtube. I'm happy with the purchase and I wish there were more patterns but overall it is a great book.
