I went to the library yesterday and came home with a nice pile of books! Here’s a taste from one.

TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:

1. Grab your current read.
2. Let the book fall open to a random page.
3. Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
4. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
5. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given.

There isn’t terribly much agreement about when or how crocheting developed, but it is known that the first printed crochet pattern appeared in a Dutch magazine (my peeps!) early in the nineteenth century. Over the next few decades, crochet became well established in Europe as a way to re-create the look of fine laces that were available only to the extremely wealthy, making them affordable to a much larger portion of the population.
Stitch ‘n Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller

I’m quite enjoying the way this book is written; Stoller’s quite witty and makes reading a book about crochet fun. Some other needle work books are so boring I look at the pictures and that’s about it…
