Well, there is a new book "Use Up That Yarn", 13 Designs to Crochet from your Stash, that will help us deplete some of the leftover yarn in our stash!
Designed by Drew Emborsky (The Crochet Dude ®) and published by Leisure Arts, this new book showcases thirteen never-before-published designs that are 'fantastically fast at shrinking" your yarn stash.
From worsted weight to bulky weight, almost every category of crochet projects are included in this book. There is something for every crocheter, from quick coasters to intermediate outer wear. Most of the projects in this book use less than 250 yards of yarn and are rated either Beginner or Easy+.
This would be a great book to add to your crochet pattern library!
My favorite designs include Fingerless Gloves, Snow Scarf and Hat Set and the Coasters.
One lucky reader will win a copy of this book, compliments of Leisure Arts. To be eligible to win, comment on this post telling us what you usually prefer to crochet: home decor, thread crochet, wearables, accessories, afghans or toys and dolls.
Please don't forget to LEAVE your EMAIL ADDRESS or a way that you can be reached if you are the winner. One winner will be drawn at random next Wednesday, February 15, 2012.

What a fun book! I love crocheting blankets as gifts for my family - such a great way to make sure they're (hopefully) thinking of me while snuggled up on the couch on a cold winter night!

I have been teaching myself to crochet by watching you tube tutorials. I've made hats, booties, toys & recently a baby afghan. I also loom so I have lots of left overs to use.

It is easier to say what I do NOT love to crochet (sigh). This past year or two, I find a lot of joy in crocheting for the needy with our little group - hats, gloves, scarves for the homeless; shawls and lapghans for a nursing home; and newborn and preemie hats, sweaters and blankies.
I love crocheting my fave adult bootie slippers and any angel pattern I can find.
I love all weights: worsted and thread.

Blankets, scarves, and hats are what I do most as gifts but I drool over shawls, wraps, and sweaters often.

I love to crochet hats! I also tend to have a few afghans I'm working on.
I enjoy crocheting lots of different items. I made eight scarves for Christmas gifts. In January, I crocheted two infinity scarves, two pairs of slippers, a hat, a coin purse, and my very first sweater. So far this month, I've made another scarf, a case to store my hooks and am currently about halfway finished with a shawl. I guess I like variety. Thanks for the chance to win the book.

Ha! I love to crochet anything and everything! I can really settle in to a beautiful afghan, but sometimes just want the instant gratification of a hat, a potholder, a scarf. Crochet is pretty where I spend my spare time.
Oh, oops, forgot to leave my e-mail... juliebbord@yahoo.com. Mine was the love of anything and everything! Afghans, hats, potholders, I've made them all.
I love crocheting wearables. In particular, I enjoy adding crochet details to vintage or second hand clothing to give them new life.
I love to crochet with both yarn and thread but love thread the most. I just finished a christening dress set.

I'm new to crocheting. So far Ive done a crochet grocery bag, a scarf, an amigurumi that was supposed to be a bird but wound up being an apple, and an amigurumi that was supposed to be a little red car, but turned out more like a strawberry. Oh well! Like I said, I'm new to crochet. K8maver at gmail dot com
I like to crochet mostly kitchen items. I have made many potholders and hot pads. I finished 3 afghans last year. Right now I am making some dishcloths.
