OK, full disclosure I've tried crocheting and knitting and I swear I'm an idiot cause I just can't get the hang of it but the instructions in this book seem so easy to follow and clear - I think I can do this! Plus the patterns of the animals are so darn adorable that I think that would make me definitely want to make sure I can get past my fear of failing miserably at these crafts, and finally getting the job done!
