The new needle arts enthusiasts are young and hip. Most are either new to needle arts or are crossing over from knitting to crocheting and vice versa. "The Crocheter's Guide to Yarn Cocktails" presents crochet as a fresh and exciting leisure activity, dispelling any former notions of the hobby as grandmotherly. Each fun project in the book teaches a specific skill so that techniques can be learned in easy increments. The simple patterns offer a mixture of techniques that are the ingredients for learning more advanced projects. Angled toward the younger, emerging needle-arts enthusiast, each project is inspired in name and attitude by a popular drink. By completing a 'Yarn Cocktail' pattern, the reader will have created a beautiful, unique accessory or garment and mastered a new crochet skill, and be empowered to tackle a more challenging project. Each pattern is accompanied by a recipe for the drink that inspired it, encouraging needle artists to knit as a social activity. But remember, the authors' motto is: Yarn Over, not Hangover!
