I would like to the learn the many of the stitches in the book. The square stitch especially to help me make blankets for the holidays.
I am self taught and learned to read patterns through trial and error. I am now being more adventurous and making blankets and simple garments with only a template and then using a pattern stitch from another project. This will give me more ideas to expand on! Thank you
I would really like The Crochet Stitch Bible,because I would love to learn to make the Solomon Knot stitch.
I would really like to learn the crabstitch or reverse crochet and some of the fancier shell stitch patterns.
With more experience I would love to tackle Irish Crochet.
I am interested in learning Tunisian Crochet. Crocheting For Dummies has been my tutorial thus far.
I would love to have this stich bible. I am fairly new to crochet so most of the stiches are new to me. I would like to learn to do the cable stich in crochet.
Would love to add this book to my Library.
The first two stitches I look at would be the Pike and the Peacock.
I enjoy your newsletter.

I would love to learn the brick raised stitch. I have many stitches that I would love to try for new afghans and squares. I find stitches and make potholders for christmas. Thanks for your great website.
There are so many great stitches that I would love to learn. I am a self taught crocheter of about 6 months and know the basic stitches. I am also left handed so that complicated my learning from anyone, I had to resort to the little pamplets at walmart. I would love to learn the afghan stitch, basket weave, reverse stitch crocheting, edging, and trimming just to name a few.
That looks like a great book! I would like to learn more about Tunisian Crochet. Thanks for the contest. Debbie in Alaska
I like the look of fans & shells. I would like to learn to do clusters & puffs. Awesome give away!
What a great book! The Tunisian Stitch has always been a challenge for me. My sample stitches are always too tight and the piece curls up. I would like to learn to use more than one color and make purses and wooden handled totes. If I do not win I will probably by the book at Amazon or one of the local craft stores. Nice Present for me! Thanks Rachel. Lil from Baltimore
I am new to crochet. 3 months now and growing strong. This book would be a great help to me, since I only know a handful of stitches so far. If I see a pattern I want to try I have to wait to get to a computer to look up a tutorial on the stitch. It would be nice to have this book handy so that I can learn on the go. This book would be a great teacher for someone new to crochet like me!
As far as stitches I would really love to learn:
Peacock stitches
Solomon’s Knot
Harlequin Stitch
Tunisian
Fans & Shells, Textured Stitches
I would like to learn the Tunisian procedure. I have read about it, but I have not tried it yet.
I would like to learn the various special stitches described in the book. The first one though is the Tunisian Stitch as I believe it produces a dense piece. Would be very good for winter crocheting. Thanks for giving us a chance to win a great book! More power Rachel!
I would like to learn Tunisian. I tried it about 30 years ago, but haven’t tried again in all this time.
I want the book to give to two college girls that I met today. One of them had posted on Freecycle that she wanted yarn, any amount, any type. So today I met with her and her college room-mate to give them a bag of yarn. Some was scrap yarn, some was skeins of yarn. They both were thrilled to get the yarn and very excited about it.
Neither of them are experienced crocheters. They know how to chain, sc, and dc. Outside of those few stitches they are lost. I know they would totally love having this book to learn more stitches and more about crocheting.
So for them, I hope that I win the book. I found more skeins of yarn to give them after returning home, and to be able to give them the book and yarn would be a wonderful gift to them, and to me.

Tunisian for sure…….I have a pattern that I am itching to get to.
That would be an awesome book and sure would come in handy. There are so many stitches I don’t know but think I would try the afghan stitch… reverse stitch crocheting… and basketweave first.
Beleive it or not, my biggest challenge has always been granny squares. I have also wanted to learn Broomstick Lace. I know there are many things I can do with this stich if only I could understand how to do it. I am self-taught and have learned through trial and error, but I am very good at learning patterns and can follow them well. I know this book will help me learn many patterns I currently do not know, or enhance those that I have already learned.
I’d love to learn Tunisian crochet and reverse (crabstitch) crochet, since I’ve seen quite a few patterns that call for either of these techniques.
Thanks for coming up with this giveaway and good luck to everyone 🙂
I am interested in making blankets and would like to vary the stitches, so I don’t get bored ☺
The lacier stitches intrigue me at the moment and I would like to know more about Tunisian too
I would love to learn stices like Solomon’s Knot and Harlequin Stitch. I want to start learning fancier stiches to make my work more interesting 🙂
Tunisian is the stitch I want to master in 2010, it produces such interesting patterns.

I would like to learn Tunisian, and so many others. I am a self taught and love to learn learn learn.
This book looks great. I would love to learn the different Tunisian stitches and also I would love to learn to make all different kinds of flowers.
Thanks for the chance.

I looked through a copy of this a few days ago. The “knit” stitch looked amazing! I’d love to make something in “knit” crochet!
Ooooh, great give-away!! 🙂 I’m really interested in working on some of the more intricate motif patterns and doily or lace crochet with thread. So far I’ve only worked in yarn, and I know there is a lot more out there! Thanks! 🙂
Been wanting to learn broomstick lace and tunision. I always loved the way the lace looked. And never could get the hang of it. The Solomons knot or Love knot was always tricky for me but I love the way it looks. Wow this is a great book, I hope I win. But if I don’t I will have to wait for it to go down in price so I can get it.
I would love to learn Tunisian Crochet. I have a hook Tunisian crochet hook and have used it only for the basic simple Tunisian stitch as I don’t know any other stitches.
I would love to learn how to do an overlaid stitch and a raised stitch. I would love to learn how to do the Tunisian stitch. My mother had a book from the 40’s with different stitches that I learned from. Unfortunately, it was lost in a basement flood
I would like to learn how to stitch all sorts, all that this book can teach me. I am New at this but seem to be doing great. I use crocheting as a stress calmer because of my Anxiety in hopes I will be able to get this book my one thing I would really love to learn is Different types of Granny Squares.
I’d like to learn blanket edging and star stitch…and many others from this useful book!
I would love to learn the Solomon Knot. This book would be a great addition to my crochet library. Thank you for giving away this wonderful crochet book.
I would love to learn fan stitches.
I crochet a lot and am a big fan of the open stitches since I live in the desert and like to make oversized tunics in cotton to wear over tank tops. I usually follow the bog jacket/top layout and any new stitches are welcome.
The stitches that I would most like to learn about from the book would be the tunisian stitches. I have tried to learn these kinds of stitches many times on the internet and I have found these stitches to be kind of difficult for me. I think having them in a book may be just what I need. Thanks for this opportunity! I <3 your website!
I think the tunisian honeycomb stitch sounds interesting.
I woul like to learn how to do different motifs, squares, and shell stitches to spice up my crochet work, and knowing that the book has pictures of each stitch will make it so much easier to learn and choose. Thanks Rachel for this awesome giveaway:)
I’d not seen this book before as I do have several lovely crochet books but in the last week this is the third reference I’ve seen to The Crochet Stitch Bible… I must ‘need’ it real bad…
I would really like to learn the difference between chervon & ripple stitches… how they are worked out in stitches – like the maths of crochet… I also would like to learn more about crochet graphs… thanks for the opportunity to enter…
ParticularIy, I would love to learn the shell stitch. I also would love to learn EVERY stitch in this awesome book over time!
I would love to learn the texture stitches.
this book is amazing, i am cleaning my working room and making every type of granny i can learn, so i would LOVE to see more grannys
i hope you send the book over america.

I love how the Tunisian basketweave stitch looks and I also like the double rounds stitch. I can picture those stitches making some projects really stand out! I’d love to learn those!
I have been interested in learning more about the Tunisian Crochet. I love the tightness of the stitch it seems that it would be a very sturdy garment once finished. I have own the Tunisian needle for a while but still have been a little intimidated about actually starting a project.
Holy cow! Looking at the index for this awesome book, there are a whole bunch of stitches I would love to learn and incorporate into my projects. This looks a wonderful reference book to add to my library; I really hope I win it. 🙂 The mophead, offset broomstick lace, pansy trim, paired popcorn, pansy trim and six-petal flowers all look intriguing. I also would love to learn the patterns for the items featured on the inside flyleafs and TOC pages. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would like to try the broomstick lace, and I am still trying to learn Tunisian stitches. Since I have pretty much taught myself from the beginning, this book would be awesome to own. Honestly though, there are so many stitches and techniques in this book, it would keep me literally ” in stitches” to own this book. LOL
I’ve been crocheting for a little over a year now. I usually just do small projects coz I love to learn and experiment with new stitches and crochet techniques. Looking through the book, I got stuck admiring the photos on the first couple of pages 😛 Topping my stiches to learn list is the tunisian crochet stitches and the filet.
This book has been on my Amazon wish list for a while. I’ve been crocheting for a couple of years now and am addicted! I’ve been wanting a stitch guide that has good pictures of each stitch. I often see a stitch but don’t know what it is. I’ve heard from other crocheters that this really is the best! There are so many textured and puffy stiches I want to learn, as well as the lacy stitches that my Grandmother used to do!
