      For experts and beginners alike, this simple cross-stitch guide includes 25 potty-mouthed patterns. There are detailed explanations of every aspect of cross-stitch, from threading a needle to removing stains on the cloth. The artwork for each project displays the finished pieces in ways that may spark creative framing ideas. The book's most enjoyable feature is its varied patterns. Traditional ones are given modern updates. There are also pixelated comic book designs with snarky words of encouragement, or discouragement, for each piece. The patterns are easy to decipher, and each one's color scheme is clearly laid out for easy planning. With these themes, crafters can also customize their own. VERDICT This is a short but comprehensive and enjoyable companion piece for cross-stitch fans looking to add a little humor to their next project.--Sarah Filiberto
