Anyone know about the book Yarn Cocktails? (anastasiaknits.com) It's supposed to have a bunch of "small and hip" knit and crochet patterns, stuff that will fit in a purse for easy travel. Each pattern is named after a drink, and accompanied by the recipe for that drink. The website has lots of pictures of the finished products. Some of them are nifty, some of them... I don't personally know any guy interested in a knit wallet, but maybe I just lead a sheltered life. Some of the items really aren't going to help the "not your grandma's crochet" cause. And I can't say I've ever been very interested in 99% of the knitted/crocheted jewelry I've ever seen. But I did like the Candy Apple tank top, even if I would never wear fringe around my midsection. And I did like a few of the other projects.

I'm curious how easy/hard the patterns are to follow, and how many crochet vs. knit projects there actually are. The website indicates which on some. I'm terrible about being able to tell the difference between knit and crochet just by looking at a product. Maybe someone else can help me figure it out.

Cute idea for a pattern book, though.
