    thank you for your video, and it is quite a relief that there are more people out there, loving collecting and flipping through those gorgeous books just for inspiration without using them really, I love doing that too and I will check out your recommendations, all the best from Germany!

    I used to live in St.Albans. I hope you enjoyed your recent visit to UK. For me, finding a new crochet book is like a child entering a sweet shop. Your eyes light up, your mouth starts watering and you can't wait to start sampling the goodies!

      Oh how wonderful! I was born there (my mum is British) so it was lovely returning . It has easily been 20 years since I’ve been back .
      I’m excited to be returning back in April for a couple of weeks. 🇬🇧❤️
      Great analogy on the sweet shop, completely agree. 🍬

    I love all hooks, books and yarns so these 'flip- through's are great. As someone who originally learnt to crochet in UK terms I would say to people don't be put off by a book that's the opposite to the terminology that you are used to the stitches are all just crochet stitches and you will soon get used to flipping from one to the other depending on the pattern. I'm a big fan of Janie Crows work and know that most of her patterns come in both US and UK term. Great video.

I do appreciate all of your videos as they have been such a help and inspiration. Also love seeing the kitties! Take care!

    A lot of great books. I received a couple of weeks ago, Every Way With Granny Crochet by Julia Madill. Awesome book.
    The Granny Square card deck. I found last week at a opening of a new Barnes and Noble store here in my city. They had one left. I bought it. It's great.
    Granny Squares are one of my favorite types of crochet too.
    Happy crocheting😊❤

    Hi Roz:
    I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I watched it twice and played it in slow mo the second time, so I could see everything. I have a hard time following written crochet patterns (always knitted), that’s why I watch your videos. You are always so clear about the pattern. But I would like to try one of the books mentioned that relate to beginners. Thank for sharing. BTW, Tiggy is gorgeous! 💜😎🇺🇸

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  5 днів тому +1

      Hi , Joanne! One day you’re going to find a written pattern that you HAVE to make and that will spark the determination to learn. I only say that because that happened with me with a knitting project 😆 it was brutal but along with some videos tutorials, I was able to get there.
      But saying that , this is the reason I do videos because there are many of us that struggle with written patterns only. I find it always helps if I can see someone doing “it” .
      Thank you for being here, Joanne, and I’m so pleased the videos help. 😘

    I have the first two books. I have a lot of books in knitting, crocheting, sewing. Always fun to get a new book and it truly inspires me, too. I watch Robin's channel. She's great! Easy to follow instructions and I can always purchase her patterns, too. Love the ginger cat! Currently weaning litter of kittens found before we had a big storm. Talk about chaos!

In my mind I can see it working for a number of issues, but want help in getting it right. So that book is a must. Thanks for going thru books. I buy many at discount bookstores online which limits my hands-on ability. Keep crocheting!

      Unfortunately that is a dupe 💕
      If the back of the box doesn’t have writing on it that’s a big clue. Plus it’s quite a bit smaller than the original.
      They make no mention of the publisher (search press) and the price is extremely low.
      Here’s a video comparison of the real one next to the fake one.

I went on Search Press and it’s on back order. Is that where you ordered it from? I’m always a little worried about back ordering from a company I never heard of before. Have you ordered from them before? Thanks
