Product Description
What would you like to have crocheted by tomorrow —a cardigan with a matching halter top? A cozy afghan? Perhaps a warm hat to ward off the wind? Then get out the needles and follow these patterns, because every one of them takes just a day to do. Even though a crocheter with average skill can handle them all, those with more experience will find plenty of details to intrigue them in these fashionable designs. The sexy, low-cut Glitter Glamour Top and Shawl make a lovely combination, and photos present a variety of stylish ways to wrap the shawl. Or crochet a cheery multicolored scarf, sweaters, purses, outfits for babies and children, and lots more. Includes a conversion chart for crocheters outside the U.S.

Decent quick patterns
Rating  (3)
Date: 2008-07-25
36 patterns listed in this book. 7 women's tops(one is a really wonderful tank top), 4 purses which aren't that great, 2 scarves, 7 hats, "hipster scarf" which looks pretty stupid, 4 afghans(one is a baby afghan and one is granny square), 6 doily coasters, 1 little girls sweater that looks like it is out of the 70s, a little boy's "footall onesie" that has an odd look to it like the 7 months old model is wearing the football pads, and adorable baby girl cardigan and hat, and a headband/ear warmer.
There is several yarn companies used in this book: Bernat, Crystal Palace, Judi and Company, Lion, Patons, J&P Coats, Red Heart, and TLC so it is not all high end yarns. Some materials list by yardage some by ounces. The approximate times are also listed. I found that the patterns I made were actually quicker to make than the listed times.
I would check this out at the local library before buying it sight unseen.

If you just have average crochet skills.....

Got some time and a stash of yarn at your disposal? If you've got 24 hours (or thereabouts!) you can produce an afghan, a hat, a sweater or any of the projects in this book of projects by Rita Weiss. The shawl is really nice, and there are many things here that will pique your interest and spark your creativity!
Now, to be honest, I will tell you that if you are leading an ordinary life with work, activities, house work and other demands on your time this may well stretch out over a longer period of time. But the projects are, comparatively speaking, speedy ones -- in addition to being quite nice.

Several really cute quick projects

There are several summer shells/tanks in this book (some of the nicest I've seen for crochet), and many hats and bags. Each project is rated with a time estimate--but I've found they take me much longer than the estimate. So I would really argue that the average crocheter could make some of these projects in 24 hours.
My biggest pet peeve--books (as this one does) that list the yarn requirements in ounces, not yardage. Unless you are using the exact yarn, "16 oz" does not tell you much!

This offering by Rita Weiss would be a great asset to your crochet library. A variety of projects are included and I found myself saying over and over, "I've got to make this!" Both apparel and accessories are here for the asking. Pictures are plentiful and directions are well-written. I definitely recommend it!
