How to Crochet for Beginners by Author Dorothy ParkerI love the cover of this book. It is very inviting. Although I crocheted many years ago, I now consider myself to be a beginner because I am starting all over again by relearning this craft.  This how-to-begin and easy-to-read handbook certainly fits the bill for me. I enjoyed Author Dorothy Parker's method of teaching as well as her introduction to the book..."to crochet or not to crochet". Her definition/explanation of the origin of the word crochet is also very interesting.This author also touches base on the necessary items to start you off. She explains the different kinds of needles and yarns that are easier to work with especially for beginners or even the suggestion of using bamboo needles if you have arthritis. She adeptly describes the different knots to be used. The bonus tips at the end of the book are an added benefit to this new creative endeavor you are about to begin.This helpful handbook is sure to educate and entice those wanting to learn easy steps in order to enjoy the art of crocheting. Of course, this relaxing hobby may not be for everyone, but if you are looking for a great way to get started then this is the handbook for you!Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer ~ Dolores AyotteI'm Not Perfect and It's Okay
