Crocheting is the new knitting and no doubt, hot designer Katherine Lee is spurring the trend. The percentage of women under the age of 45 who know how to knit and crochet has doubled in the past six years. Retailers and the media are jumping on the bandwagon, too, by energizing many women who have not knitted or crocheted for years. It's a hip, calming pastime to our hectic busy lifestyles.
Unfortunately, the crochet patterns on the market are not necessarily in tune with today's young crocheter. That's why this book is a must-have for any enthusiast. SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet provide this expanding market of crocheters with twenty fresh and fashionable designs from Lee, a top pattern designer and instructor.
These are not your boring old granny sweaters. These patterns are for beautiful, lacy, feminine, sweaters, camisoles, hats, belts, tanks, handbags, and scarves. Fun-to-make, and stylish to wear, these contemporary projects will appeal to crafters of every skill level.

I found this book to be great. The directions are clear and very easy to read. Photos are wonderful! The designs are in style for today.

I ordered another used book off of amazon, and the seller accidentally shipped me this book instead. So I decided to make the most of my time with my misplaced book and write a review of it, especially since because I'm a guy, and it's not the kind of book I'd ever buy on my own.
Well, the patterns in this book are definately sexy. I would recommend that if you buy this book you make: Morrocan Slippers, Shawl-Collared Wrap Cardigan, Macrame Belt, Flirty Skirt, Chunky Flower Hat, Bold Laced Cardigan, and Textured Cloche Hat. Make them in that order. They're listed in order of sexiness. Unless you're a beginner, and then make the hats first, because they're the easiest.
And, the cool thing about this book is that they would be sexy whether you're making something cool for your kids, or if you're a great grandmother, and you're making them for yourself.
And, I don't know anything about crocheting, but it seems like it gives a lot of good educational information about the art of crochet and it also has all of the complicated stuff that you who know crochet would know but that I wouldn't.
I hope you enjoy the book.
