Has anyone seen this book or have it? It's HERE on Amazon. I saw it today while I was looking around on various sites.

 

I'm curious to know how many crochet patterns are included. Any thoughts on the book?

I've seen it for sale, but no clue as to what's inside...

There's a thread about it here:

This is about what crocheting is in it:

 

1 hat

1 scarf (2 scarves, one pattern)

3 sweaters

A knitted beer bottle that has crochet on it.

I looked through it this weekend at the bookstore and just couldn't justify it. There were a couple things that I thought were interesting, but since I don't knit I had a problem buying a book where I could only use less than half of the patterns. It is definitely heavily a knit wearables book, but there are a few crochet things thrown in here and there. If you both knit and crochet I would recommend taking a look at it. I LOVE the scarf on the front cover and that is almost enough for me to want to learn to knit....

I'm not going to buy it, as it has too few crochet projects.

Oh no! I just got into crochet and bought the first one. I really like it so I can only imagine I might like the new one...

Not for crocheters, though there is a nice men's sweater, but if you knit too it might be worthwhile. I do, but I didn't buy it, somehow there just wasn't enough in it that appealed to me. Zaraliz

My hubby bought the book for me. I love it.

Looked at it at Borders. Not for me. I was quite disappointed..I thought I only counted 1 crochet pattern!

Luckily I borrowed it from my Library before buying it. There are 4 crochet patterns, 5 if you count the scarf that has 2 variations. The cover says 45 patterns to knit and crochet.... HA! Crochet shouldn't even be mentioned. Its misleading IMHO

My fiance gave it to me for Christmas

 

Personally, I don't think a book ought to say "Knit AND Crochet" unless it has equal amounts of both. If it doesn't, someone in either camp is going to get screwed, unless you know how to do both.

 

That said, it has some great knit patterns in it, and since I'm learning to knit, it gives me wonderful inspiration and drive!
