Knit or Crochet – Have it Your Way by Margaret Hubert, softback, spiral-bound, published by Creative Publishing International. ISBN 978-1-58923-431-4, price 12.99 from www.creativepub.com

Whilst this is undoubtedly a good idea, the projects themselves do not fill me with the desire to knot or crochet. There are fifteen projects, well photographed and nicely presented. The instructions seem easy to follow. Each project comes with both knitting and crochet instructions. However, the patterns are very out-dated and old-fashioned.
