Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot

by Mary Beth Temple

Andrews McMeel Publishing | April 21, 2009 | Trade Paperback

Crochet lovers will embrace Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot, a book that lovingly and humorously explores the craft of crochet and is written by a true crochet zealot.

Mary Beth Temple, a well-known author in the crafting world and a self-admitted crochet junkie, gives an insider''s look at what makes real crocheters tick and laugh with a number of humorous essays.

Excerpt from the book:

"Just the other day I uttered a phrase that stopped traffic in my household, a phrase I never in a million years thought I would utter. I was sorting through yet another box of yarn that appeared as if by magic, trying to lower the square footage of wool that is all over my living room, and in frustration I yelled out "I have too much yarn!" You could hear crickets chirping in the aftermath--my daughter looked at me as if I had three heads, even the dog cocked her head and started to slink slowly away from the crazy woman. Did I really say I had too much yarn? Was I sick with fever?"

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 related to all the stories and feel vidicated knowing that they aren't the only yarnoholic.
