My first impression of this book – Wow, this is long!
Now, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Sometime books must
be long to achieve its goal. I feel like this one could have been condensed
though. There were times where I felt that what I was reading was a bit
redundant.
That being said, it was a very interesting book. I was
wondering how a book completely about crochet could be interesting all the way
through, but it was.
Kathryn explores many different mental and physical ailments
that can be helped by the use of crochet. I didn’t know something so simple
could help many symptoms of these complicated disorders. It was interesting to
read each different section.
She gives a brief description of each disorder and then
explains how the use of crochet helps different symptoms. She shares her own
persona stories as well as stories of other individuals. I think this is what
keeps the book interesting and not feeling like a text book.
Anyone who needs a new hobby, something to help a disorder
you are suffering from, or if you already enjoy crochet, I would say you should
pick this up and at least read the sections that pertain to you. Or you can
just read it the whole way through.
3.5/5 stars. A bit redundant at times, and long – but,
overall, it was very interesting.
