I think I will perish if I don’t learn how to do a granny square. I tried videos, it doesn’t work. I need help with the granny square, especially the 2nd round and beyond. This could help.
I would love to learn to crochet with beads and chevron pattern. This book looks amazing.
this is cool, thanks for the chance! have passed up a lot of patterns that only had charts. Most interested in the textured stitches and the shawl pattern.
This might sound silly, but I’m most excited to figure out how to count my stitches! I still don’t know!
I would love to learn how to change colors and use beads in my work.
This book looks great! Looking over the ToC, there is so much to learn…But the “Crunchy Dots” entry sounds interesting and fun 🙂
I would like to learn the decrease and increase stitches as well as learning how to crochet in the front and/or back loops when making an item. Thank you for the chance to win this book. It looks fantastic.
I would really like to learn the Tunisian Crochet.
I’d love to learn how to do broomstick lace. Nice give away
Combining stitches, that’s a chapter for me. Thanks for sharing, being a beginner, it looks like the kind of reference book I could use.
I’ve checked this book out from the library before! Very cool!
I love chapters 5 and 6. Especially the double treble and how easy it is to see the stitches up close!
I’m a messy crocheter! I really need/want to learn how to tidy things up and also following a stitch pattern, I think I’ve got a mental block or something! LOL
I eventually hope to be good enough to make sweaters/clothes for my daughter.
Thank you!

Broomstick loops. I would love to make broomstick lace.
This is so lovely.So many things I still need and want to learn-extended stitches,never try yet popcorn and puff stitches and especially tunisian crochet.I would love this book.
I really need some help with crocheting in the round so chapter 4 would be a big help. Also need to work on my post stitches so chapter 6 would help me, too!
The picture of the yellow open pattern next to the Chapter 7 contents…that’s what I want to learn.
I am interested in learning about charted crochet. I live the idea of creating a near picture in crochet!!!!!!
I would love to learn how to use beads and I have always wanted to learn Tunisian crocht.
I am most interested in joining techniques and Tunisian crochet!

The “triangle in the round” sounds quite interesting, so I would like to learn that.
Thanks for this offer, Rachel — and Rebecca!
Would love to learn new stitches as shown in the chapters 5 and 6 of this book
I am most interested in learning new stitch patterns, since I’m a visual learner. I also want to learn free form crochet, and how to add beads to my projects. 🙂
I consider myself a pretty good crocheter, but I see several things I could still learn – Extended stitches, spike stitches, buillions, etc. Sounds like a great book! Thanks for the giveaway
The first thing I would like to learn is how to estimate how much yarn I need for a project, either because I’m winging it or because the pattern I am looking at only tells you how much of their brand’s yarn to use! So frustrating! This would also be helpful when I’m changing patterns by using different hook sizes or weights of yarn.
The other thing I would really like to learn is how to do a lover’s knot, because I have this great pattern but I just can’t do it!! lol
I would like to learn more about fixing mistakes. I tend to panic!
I want to learn broomstick patterns!!! I have seen it and they are beautiful and I would love to see step by step instructions.
Oh gracious, how to decide?
Well Broomstick lace to start but I would also like to learn Tunisian and Filet!!!
The Tunisian Stitch! I’ve looked online an learn and for the life of me can’t seem to learn it. 🙂
I need to learn how to follow patterns! I’m a beginner and I’m constantly looking for patterns online but when I try to follow the patterns, mine never turns out the same. I’ve watched practically every YouTube video that explains gauge and I still don’t understand, so hopefully this book can clear things up a bit.
I would also like to learn different stitches so that when I finally learn how to follow patterns, I can use new stitches. 🙂
I would like to lern more stitches pattern 🙂
I want to learn how to make a rectangle in the round! I’ve always wanted to do that.
Wow there are so many interesting stiches that I would love to learn! I especially have wanted to learn Tunsian stiches and there seems to be alot about that in this book.
I would love to learn some of the things in the later chapters and brush up on the basics. I learned to crochet when I was very young, and then didn’t for a number of years – so even though I consider myself a pretty advanced crocheter, I sometimes need to brush up on the fundamentals. I also have been teaching some of my friends to crochet and this would be a great resource!
I am most interested in making a rectangle in rounds. Thanks for the giveaway!
Honestly, I want to learn it all! I really want to hold a class to teach beginning crochet to little girls since I’ve had such great feedback on the simple items I’ve made but really want to learn more stitches first and this book has lots of pictures! Can’t wait to learn everything I can to pass on to other eager young learners!
I would love to be able to do a crunch stitch
I’ve been wanting to learn broomstick lace for a while now, so that is the section that interests me the most in the book!
I’m a sucker for granny squares so I would say the sweet and chic granny square bag. ^_^
I would love to learn how to do Tunisian crochet, so starting with the Tunisian simple stitch would be perfect for starters, and then I could move on from there!
I would like to learn how to crochet with beads so I can make bracelets and necklaces.
i would like to fresh my memory of all the stitches and learn the really awesome patterns in there! 🙂
Broomstick lace-I have everything I need but I’m not sure how to do it!
Thanks for another great giveaway. I would love to learn Tunisian crochet. But also, just learning how to estimate rows and stitch count would be great for free form crochet.
I am an experienced and skilled crocheter and designer so looking through the table of contents most of the info there I already know. However it still looks like it may be a good reference book, for advance tunisian stitches. I have afghan crochet hooks (the long crochet hooks that resemble knitting needles), but can’t remember the last time I used one.
To crochet with beads sounds really interesting. Two favorite crafts combined, can it get any better?
This book looks like it would be quite helpful. I was very interested in the design your own pattern section, also section 11 more techniques contains a lot of stitches I have been leary of and also the how to fix your mistakes section I think would be really helpful. Thanks so much.
I love this book. Its nice.. Since i’m new to crochet it’ll be really helpfull for me to learn more.. The visual pics would clear most of my doubts. I mostly mess up with the stitches.. This book would help me out.. Thanks.. 🙂
This books looks like it will be a great help to a lot of crocheters. I would love to master the Tunisian technique. Thanks.
I want to learn how to combine the different stitches. I know the basics but once I get a handle on combining stitches, maybe I’ll be able to come up with patterns on my own.
After the newsletter today I totally need to learn that broomstick pattern!
