Review: Half Term Holiday Helper!
Rating: 5 out of 5

We are at the end of the school half term holiday here in England, and this book has been a great help! A house full of poorly females (I'm sure the dog is feigning illness for more cuddles) so trips to the park and anywhere else cold are out of the question. My eldest daughter wanted something crafty to do, and asked if she could learn to knit. A great plan I thought, until I realised how complicated it would be for a 6 year old. Way back in the 70s, I used to stay with my grandparents by the sea in Hastings, and with very little to occupy a 9 year old boy, my grandmother taught me the basics of crochet. A quick hunt on Amazon revealed this gem of a book - and it all came flooding back! After a few hours of knotty, tangled wool, my daughter and I eventually managed a project to be proud of. This book is ideal for anyone that wants to start with this relaxing hobby.
