one of my favorite books

this is one of my favorite books from 1988 by Doris Smith its chucked full of sticthes ,edgings,etc

the only draw back is that they are not named,and in black n white but the pics are clear

i love the uniqueness of the handdrawn charts [see pic ] i use this little book a lot and it fits perfectly in my bag

if you are lucky enough to find one at a yardsale,flea market etc i highly recommend grabing it

well to next time fellow crocheters

happy crocheting

read any good books Lately ? 8 O )

I ask this Be cause i was asked this an when I responded why yes Margaret Huberts complete photo guide to crochet , well the person looked at me funny and said no books you read !!!i said i did read it ,it was a wealth of info,well i was inform that people dont read crochet books they just glance through them or look at the picturesto get ideas from so my question is am i the only one that actual reads them ??? does anyone else feel this way ? what about the crochet mags maybe thats why the are all going under and we are loosing them
Please id love to hear what others think of this
well enough for today
as always happy crocheting
