I am a lucky girl!
I got to review and play with Twinkie Chan's fantastic crochet book!
What a fantastic book. Lots of bright beautiful photos, fun modern designs.
Some of you may remember when I used to make Polymer clay jewellery? Well, Twinkie Chan is wearing one of my Jam biscuit necklaces on the cover!
I have been online buds with the lovely lady for about 8 years or more. I remember Steph from live journal days and I am so thrilled for her that she has been a huge success doing what she loves and what she is VERY good at. YAY!
This fab book is all crochet patterns ranging from cupcake and Popsicle scarves to cake tissue cosies and fingerless mittens!!
Inside you'll find three sections...sweet things, fruits and veggies and savory stuff, hehe!!!!!
You will also find a "how to" which gives you help on the basics of crochet.
I love the size of the book, I would say it is around 6 by 8 inches, it fits into a bag nicely so you can take your work out and about with you!
The book itself is great eyecandy...colourful, cute, pretty and that's just Twinkie chan, hehe! The designs are so sweet and will guarantee to inspire you to make something.
If you're into crochet or have a friend/relative that is, do buy this book.
Here I have started to practice one of the cookies in just a plain cheap acrylic yarn I already have, which I like to do, until I have a pattern down.
You can buy the book here
The link will take you to Twinkie chan's etsy store where you can buy the book but also buy a crochet treat like a popsicle brooch or some cupcake fingerless mittens and much more!
I am so thrilled that Steph put a sweet message inside and signed it for me.
I am only new to crochet and found the instrictions pretty straight forward. I think it would delight all levels of ability too.
Go buy it! :)

Thank you so much, sweet pea!!! Your sample cookie looks beautiful!!! :) xoxox
she was mean to me when once I talked with her...
now it's kinda trauma only hearing her name...though I still like her designing
No thank YOU sweetie...I'm loving the book so much!!! <3
OOh anon, dear sweet anon, how I think you're fibbing. Twinkie chan is one of the sweetest people you could ever wish to know!!
This looks like such a fun book! Im new to crochet also, and not always patient enough to follow patterns closely. But these things are just so cute and yummy looking :( I'll have to check it out.
