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.

Epistles to the Great Pumpkin

The board book Letters to the Great Pumpkin is fairly straightforward on its goals.

The World According to Snoopy and sundry other things

I just picked up a copy of The World According to Snoopy, which was released in the UK late last year. This hardcover book, with its cover akin to a 1970s textbook, falls into the “inspirational messages” category. It’s pages are a mix of single-page displays of individual Peanuts strips (always …
