"The Hook and The Book" 1840 - 1876

Most interesting and good photographs! Click on subject titles to go to cases in the exhibit. Click on the tiny photos to get a bigger picture. Most unusual hook grips.

One of my favorite gripes. Look at the photo on this page and tell me exactly why every blasted magazine and book these days trumpets that it's "not your grandmother's crochet"?

 

I am so fascinated by those antique hooks. Wish I could find stuff like that!

Wow! Those some teenie-tiny hooks!!!

 

Great site, thanks for sharing, Gran

 

Makes me sad that I couldn't have shared my new found hobby/obsession with my Grandmother -- she was so multi-talented & never wasted a thing. Maybe this is a way I can honor her memory. :grandma
