Basically... RUN.

Okay, I'm at a loss. I've been knitting since November of last year, and decided I wanted to try out crochet. I looked at online lessons first, but I'm very visual, and reading text and looking at tiny rear end illustrations aren't helping. I tried going on YouTube, but the videos there have people moving at lightning speed, and I can't tell what they are doing where.

So I've determined I'm just going to have to buy a book with clear illustration using real pictures. I went into Barnes & Noble and found a really good book, but while its great for knitting, it only has one little chapter on crocheting. Does anyone know of a really good, well illustrated (preferably w/pics) book that could help me out?

I'll preface this by saying that I'm, like, 98% knitter and just do crochet for edgings and stuff. So weigh this recommendation accordingly. But I have this book and the illustrations are beautiful and clear. Most of the crocheters in my life are lefties so what little crochet I can do I've learned from this book.

Thanks. I'll see if I can't find in it a local bookstore to look through.

I saw that Visual Crochet book at Amazon, but I haven't seen it locally, and I'm afraid I'll waste my money if I don't look through it first. I'm always hesitant to accept online reviews at face value, because half the time I don't agree with them.
