When life gets stressful, go a little crazy with crochet! Meagan Glaser presents 19 zany projects that will put you on the road to relaxation. For children and adults, there are 7 pillows, 4 scarves, 4 hats, 3 afghan squares, and a board game. When your computer is bugging you, take out your frustrations on the smushable Computer Virus Pillow. If your diet's a losing battle, let a Hamburger Hat tell the world what you'd rather have for dinner. And since nothing cures the blues like helping others, why not create a cheerful afghan of Smiley Face Blocks for someone who needs a chuckle? We bet you also know a child who would love a Snake Scarf or a game of Tic-Tac-Toast with a bacon-strip grid and fried-egg playing pieces.
