About a year ago, my teen knitting group and I heard Debbie speak while she was promoting The Knitter’s Handbook. Not only did they agree that Debbie was one groovy chick, they felt empowered and excited to begin the projects from her book. This crochet edition has as many appealing patterns as the knitting handbook, as well as smaller projects (not as expensive as the larger ones), such as the I-pod animal cozies, that will imspire teens to pick up a new hobby. Though I only know how to knit, these instructions make crochet appear as the easier art to learn.
