Why Craft Fairs are Scary and Crimes in the Kitchen

"THE FAMILY CROCHET BOOK"

Published by Hamlyn1971 with no attributed author. (Frankly, I'm not surprised about that!) HB ISBN 0 600 33446 5

"Crochet, once a craft enjoyed in Grandma's day, is rapidly coming back into fashion again… ... Women everywhere are discovering to their delight just how easy and how effective crochet can be, not only for simple blouses and dresses, but for more ambitious couture designs, for men's, babies, and children's wear, and also for household items."

And I thought it was only good for doilies.

Want to unleash your inner nerd? If you're going for that 'my blind mother dressed me in the dark' look, then this is the book for you. For those that have neither taste nor a life, this is the perfect gift. It does seem a shame that they may never have anywhere to wear such dazzling masterpieces as these little beauties. Although perhaps the rest of us can breathe a sigh of relief.

As well as clothes find patterns for crocheting;

• Watch straps
• Headbands
• Waste paper baskets (!)
• Lampshades
• Slippers
• Egg Warmers
• Hats and Handbags

Carson would not approve. (Or maybe he would?)

Swimming today? Oh…perhaps not.

Crocheted Beach Beauties!
