""Original, unique, colorfully illustrated, and a bit iconoclastic in spirit, 'Snarky Crochet'... is a fun, extraordinary, and highly recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library Needlecraft/Crocheting instructional reference collections."" -- Julie Summers * Midwest Book Review *

""A hilarious collection of petty crochet patterns, this is the perfect book to help create gifts for people who mildly annoy you! Lisa Ha's famously unique perspectives shine through in this colorful and creative crochet book!"" --Kevin Yee, @kevinyeedotcom ""Could crochet get any more fun? This book is packed with playful projects, brilliant patterns, and Lisa's trademark humour. Inspiring, light-hearted, and perfect for crocheters of all abilities, these designs really jump off the page."" --Simon Fannon, Yarn Botherer with Opinions @veteranknitter, contestant on Game of Wool ""If you're looking for a fun, one of a kind project, as well as a resonating belly laugh, you need to pick up this book! Lisa's creativity shines with each pattern and her humor is the cherry on top!"" --Alleshen Hamilton, creator of GheeBeans Crafty ""If Snark was a ring, Lisa would be Frodo. I'm not sure if that really makes sense, but I am sure that this book is awesome! It is loaded with creative creations and tons of humor. Just remember, if the snark doesn't come from this book, it's just sparkling attitude."" --Steven Borzachillo, @Brochet ""Lisa combines sharp humor with patterns that are genuinely fun to make. Snarky Crochet is a reminder that this craft is joyful, important, and truly for everyone."" --Adella Colvin, the creative force behind LolaBean Yarn Co. ""Lisa Smith stole our hearts as a Loose Ends finisher when she transformed a handful of mysterious, tender stitches, left by a boy's late grandmother, into the now iconic tattooed cat-pirate creature viewed by more than 10 million people. Her rare mix of creativity, humor, and heart-of-gold generosity is exactly what she brings to Snarky Crochet. We may be a wholesome nonprofit, but we are all in for Lisa's gloriously subversive streak. This book is packed with patterns, affirmations, and stories that are clever, a little risque, and joyfully unbothered: cat-butt coasters, signal slippers, unapologetically unwoven ends, crochet road kill and poop... and even an entire section dedicated to the crochet equivalent of flipping the bird. If you're looking for fun patterns that push boundaries, embrace mischief, and still manage to spark handmade joy, Lisa's your gal."" --Masey Kaplan, Loose Ends Project Co-Founder ""Not bad for a crocheter. Funny, light-hearted, and utterly approachable -- perfect for anyone wanting creativity without intimidation. Lisa's joyful mix of projects including wearables, decorations, toys and amigurumi, offers something for every mood. The patterns are clearly written, easy to follow, and feel achievable at any skill level. They come with mostly friendly and always hilarious guidance. Just like Lisa, this book doesn't take itself too seriously."" --Adam Cleevely, @CleevelyKnits ""The most unique crochet book on the market! With hilarious jokes and creative patterns, you'll be hooked!"" --Naomi Fox, @croutonscrochet ""This book is a treasure--15 awesome gifts to express your lukewarm feelings towards that colleague who asked you to 'quickly crochet them a baby blanket' or your mother in law who inquired when will you finally get a real job. I know I'm making One Single Slipper for my mom, who always asks 'are you REALLY wearing THAT' ... I can't wait to hear what she says."" --Olga Fahim, Mischief Manager of Gotham Knits ""This is the crafting book of dreams: it's hooked my passive-aggressive and bad-pun-generating self like nothing else ever has, or will. Get it, and enjoy the WS (wrong side)."" --Roma Agrawal, @romatheengineer

""Original, unique, colorfully illustrated, and a bit iconoclastic in spirit, 'Snarky Crochet'... is a fun, extraordinary, and highly recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library Needlecraft/Crocheting instructional reference collections."" -- Julie Summers * Midwest Book Review * ""This is truly a one-of-a-kind pattern book that should not be missed..."" -- Nicole Marconi * Booklist *

Author Information

Like parents who hide puréed cauliflower in mac and cheese to get their kids to eat vegetables, Lisa Ha uses comedy as the secret ingredient to get more people interested in crochet. A crochentertainer (crochet + entertainer) known as Get to Hooking Crochet on social media, her irreverent, tongue-in-cheek humor is broadly enjoyed by audiences across the globe, whether they crochet (yet) or not. Born in the US into a large, boisterous family of Vietnam War refugees, Lisa was taught to crochet at age eight by one of her many aunts and never stopped. Her dry humor and approachable teaching style help make the ancient art of ""hooking"" accessible to total beginners while keeping things interesting for seasoned pros. At her home in Virginia, Lisa treasures her yarn stash, her collection of nerdy amigurumi, her husband, and her favorite handmade creations: her children-all in reverse order.
