She has her crochet hook and knitting needles on the pulse of pop culture, innovative design, and straight up classic fashion. She combines all of these into one heck of a page turner. This book is not only for crafters, it is for anyone who is into movies, film, and music. The projects are clever, easy to tackle and loaded with personality! Not to mention the pictures are a blast - great coffee table material here! Way to go, Vic!"

Vickie's book is so freaking handy and useful. I really can see myself using this book in my knitting bag all the time as a reference guide instead of needing to find my other huge reference book. LOVE IT! Her tips are really funny, too!
