I'm a knitter and absolutely love Stitch n Bitch. I've never been interested in crocheting because I have never seen any patterns that that I liked. I hate to admit it but I thought that crocheting was ugly and all the patterns were ugly. Then I saw that Stitch n Bitch came out with the Happy Hooker and I couldn't resist. I love Debbie and what she's brougt to the Knitting and now Crocheting crafts. The books read awesome and have fun punky patterns (which is the main reason for me buying my first book). When I bought my first Stitch n Bitch (for knitting) I had never picked up a pair of needles and likewise for the Happy Hooker (excluding Gram Naid teaching me to chain at 6). Thanks to Debbie's great writing (and ability to teach in words to young punky people like me) I can now knit and crochet. The entire Stitch n Bitch collection is awesome and I can't wait to see what she comes out with next.Read full review
Stoller's Stitch 'N Bitch and Stitch 'N Bitch Nation have become icons of the knitting craze: every hip young needleworker has at least one of them next to the yarn stash. Now, she uses the same approach that made her knitting books so successful in this entrée to sexed-up hookwork that takes pains to show crocheting isn't for grandma anymore. There are patterns for beginners, intermediate crocheters, and experienced crocheters. No afghans here.
I love this book but I hesitate to recommend it because its usefulness will depend on your skill level. I think it's good for beginners as well as experienced crocheters, but I always recommend that you check it out of your local library first and then buy it if you like it. Personally, I think it's worth the purchase price for the cowboy hat pattern alone.

This book is really great. I have crocheted for a few years, but never had the courage to try new patterns. This book breaks everything down into simple and clear language with easy to follow patterns. The patterns are beautiful too!
