Look what my Mom gave me!

They dont call her the garage sale Queen for nothing. She only paid $5.00 for the whole box:cheer:clap. The small books are annies attic pattern club, most of the books are brand new and there are only 2 that I already have. The most exciting thing was I have been wanting to try croknit for the longest time but couldnt buy what I needed and look it had 3 books and a hook plus a circle hook:D. There was also alot of letters to her friends exchanging patterns. I also got to see what she looked like there were pictures of the woman who used to own this great treasure. There are about 15 plastic canvas books, pompom maker and a fringe maker.

Oh WOW!!! What a great treasure. That is so cool that you got to learn a little about the previous owner too. Enjoy!

There are also a bunch of patterns from news papers. Are there papers that still do that?

I know I am on a crochet high right now, its more like an crochet overload. I am the type of person who cant be given too many choices it overwhelms me.. 90% of the books are brand new, most of them are Annie's Attic books. The older books have really great illustrations, answerers a lot of questions on problem I have had. When I went threw the box better I found another book on crochet nit and it had two brand new hooks in it:clap So I think the box is telling me that this will be my next project to try:hook
