Crochet

CrochetI’m not going to review Peanuts Crochet, not just because there would be a strong conflict of interest for me (I am, after all, working on an upcoming book for the same publisher and packager), but because I am really in no position to judge a crochet book, and I am not going to take up the needless myself; I  have no talent at the fabric crafts. So I’ll keep it to the facts:

The kit comes with:

  • Crochet hooks
  • Five colors of yarn: white, yellow, black, tan, and brown
  • Some thread and a sewing needle
  • A full color, 76 page paperback book with directions on making:
    • Charlie Brown
    • Snoopy
    • Linus
    • Franklin
    • Lucy
    • Sally
    • Peppermint Patty
    • Pigpen
    • Flying Ace Snoopy
    • Schroeder (with piano!)
    • Woodstock
    • Marcie

The included materials should let you make Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Woodstock. Other characters require other colors.

RECOMMENDED: Goodness and Good Grief!

I somewhat slough off a lot of Peanuts books aimed at children. I can appreciate that the people making them are doing good work, but at the same time feel that a properly formatted book of the actual comic strips would actually serve the kid better. But then, I’m a …

Animated Peanuts
Officially, it’s a “Super Chubby”

When I reviewed the 2015 book adapting the TV special It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, I had this to say: The book that’s titled It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (adaptation by Kara McMahon, art by Scott Jeralds) takes basically the whole special and simplifies everything. It briefly tells you that Charlie …
