Crochet and Knitting Activity Books: Book Review

Are you the kind of crocheter or knitter who also enjoys puzzles of all kinds? Do you like brain teasers, word finds, crosswords and more, all with the theme of crochet or knitting? Well, I’ve got 2 wonderful books to tell you about, both by Debbie Deitke! These books provide hours and hours of fun for anyone, especially those who enjoy crocheting and/or knitting!


The first book is the Crochet Activity Book. This book has more than 100 crochet theme word, picture and number puzzles. The book is in large print, so you won’t strain your eyes working on these puzzles. The word puzzles are comprised of word searches, word scrambles, word ladders, word finds, logic puzzles, so many words, trivia, crossword puzzles and cryptograms. The picture puzzles are comprised of mazes, picture this, odd one out, two of a kind, reflection, shadow match, last one standing and picture slices. The number puzzles are comprised of find the numbers and sudoku.

The second book is the Knitting Activity Book. This book also has over 100 puzzles, but these puzzles are knitting theme instead of crochet. This book is also in large print and contains the same categories of puzzles as the crochet book.



There is a solution section at the back of each book to check your answers or to fill in answers you struggled getting (to learn more, of course, not to cheat!).



I’ve enjoyed solving a lot of these puzzles in both books. I have to admit that I definitely don’t know as much about knitting as I do about crochet! But that’s because I’ve been crocheting for over 45 years and knitting for less than 10 years. However, with each of these books, I’m learning new things about both crafts! And that’s a good thing! I love learning new things and solving puzzles, so these books are great for both of these! I can look up the crochet or knitting techniques that I didn’t know about, learn more about them and decide if I want to give them a try.



If you’d like to check out and/or purchase either or both of these books, here’s a link to the Crochet book on Amazon. And here’s a link to the Knitting book on Amazon.



I hope you enjoyed this book review and will challenge yourself to learn more about crochet and/or knitting, either by solving the puzzles in this book, taking a class or watching some YouTube videos!

Happy crocheting and/or knitting,

Susan

      You’re very welcome, Linda! I’ve learned a lot from these books and I’ve also learned that there are things I don’t know yet about crochet! Plus I love to do puzzles, as well! I hope you enjoy the crochet (and/or knitting) activity book!
