This book arrived this morning and I have just finished reading it! It is made up of short essays on a variety of crochet related topics, different projects on the go, stash, keeping little bits of wool that are hard to use up, passing on the addiction, etc.
Mary Beth Temple writes with humour and reading this, as well as making me laugh out loud and read those sections aloud to my husband, made me feel part of something, accepted, and that maybe my stash mountain isn't so bad.
This book would make a perfect gift for crocheters, or just buy it for yourself!

What a perfect present for any crochet (or knit)aholic alike really. It's made me laugh out loud and my partner thinks I must've had a hand a least in writing it!!!
A super accompaniment to my well established hobbies!

Finally, a book just for us!

Format:Paperback
I know I'm not alone and that there are many other crochet addicts out there. But I live down a quiet country road in the middle of nowhere New Mexico, and finding other crocheters my age is rare. Mostly I find them at the senior center and they have that "hooked" glint in their eyes, and we can commune. This book is like having a buddy that just knows your soul. Mary Beth (I'm using a first name here, because she is a true soul sister) is absolutely hysterical and witty and compassionate and fascinating in her writing on the subject. I'm reading this book slowly to savor every word and it's fun to envision someone crocheting away their cares just like I do every day. Thanks for the laughs Mary Beth!

Soulmate!

Too me this is a true soulmate-book. I have been crocheting since I was 8 years old, my grandmothers taught me. It has been a passion ever since, but I have never come across anyone having the same passion and the same experiences. But now I have! I have been laughing out loud, feeling like being in company with a very good friend. Thank you, Mary Beth.

The book every crocheter has been waiting for

Caution: Reading this book in public might cause you to be on the receiving end of some strange looks as you will be nodding sagely, snorting and chuckling.
Mary Beth Temple has written a book of several short pieces, each spotlighting one facet of our addiction. This book is funny. Any crocheter (and ok, knitters too) can relate to all the stories and feel vidicated knowing that they aren't the only yarnoholic.
