I love these little books. They have been one of the best resources for prodding my memory, or showing new items, nearly all my life. I have three of them, and they are almost exactly the same. Two are marked 29 Cents, and are the Fourth and Eighth Editions. The third is marked 35 Cents, and is the Eighteenth Edition.

There are four sections, divided into Crochet, Knitting, Tatting, and Embroidery. I no longer do Tatting, and have mislaid the shuttles in any case, but it was very helpful when I was first learning. All four handwork sections have excellent drawings for how to do specific actions. They're just a wonderful resource.

It seems that this was still published as recently as 1993.

No authors listed or known. I'm going to use the Amazon "author" (Coats and Clark's designers) but as an editor.

This little pamphlet is probably the best book there is for someone new to handwork, or anyone who is just brushing up. ( )

Wonderful basic information about knitting, crocheting, tatting and embroidery.
