Thoughts on leisure arts crochet patterns and books?

[hooknheart163]

I've been really curious about trying out some crochet patterns and books from Leisure Arts. Have any of you given their materials a go? I'd love to hear what you think about the quality of their tutorials and designs. Got any favorites or recommendations? I'm all ears!

I've used quite a few Leisure Arts crochet patterns and books over the years, and I've had a really positive experience in general!

Their tutorials are usually very clear with good illustrations, which is great whether you're a beginner or just learning a new technique. There's usually something for everyone since their designs have varied styles from very traditional to more contemporary!!

If you like amigurumi, their "Dandy Dogs" and "Zoo Amigurumi" books have some really cute designs that are well-written. They also have some excellent "Learn to Crochet the Easy Way" books that are perfect for absolute beginners with very straightforward projects.

I find their patterns to be quite reliable, and I rarely run into issues with stitch counts or unclear instructions.

Happy crocheting!!

This is something I've been looking for a while. I've seen them online a few times, but I'm hesitant to get something untested. How's the quality of their kits, if you ever ordered one?

I've used a couple of Leisure Arts books before, and honestly, they're pretty beginner-friendly. The stitch diagrams and step-by-step photos helped me a ton. My favorite was their afghan patterns, it is simple enough but still felt rewarding when finished.
